Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My left foot\ankle is swollen but this has turned chronic. It will go away but returns within a few days. My right foot\ankle is fine. Top ofvfoort and ankle swells really bad & I will put ice and use a compression sock because it gets so swollen. Been going on for about 8 months now!
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
