I Injured My Right Ankle In Nov 2016 When My

I injured my right ankle in Nov 2016 when my scooter tipped over my foot. I immediately felt a sharp pain in the right ankle. My symptoms include burning stinging pain mostly on the right side of the foot and sometimes on the front of the foot. My foot is warm with a lot of redness that goes up the leg. For the last 3 weeks, I've had a lot of swelling in the right leg and foot. I've had some swelling in the left ankle. I have been living in a hotel since Nov. 2016, while my home is being remodeled. To cut expenses, I have been eating their salty soups at night which my physician and I believe is the cause for the edema on the right side and left ankle. I have been on a diarectic to reduce the swelling for 5 days and the swelling is gone now. I am concerned because the warm/hot foot with redness, stinging burning pain is still here and sometimes wakens me up at night. I have done a warm and cool water soaking of the foot daily and sometimes twice a day. I do a warm soak for 5 minutes, cool soak for 5 minutes, 4 minutes, down to 1 minute and end with a warm soak for a total of 31 minutes at a time. My foot physician seems to think this is related to the blood vessels and the nerves in the foot and around the outside of the right ankle bone. The water baths help. Since the swelling is gone, I have normal motion in my foot.What else can I do? Do you have an idea of what is going on here? Thank you, Jude
