Is Stiffness In Ankle Normal After Having Sprain?
I fell and twisted my ankle 2 days ago. I can still walk on it and doesn t have much pain. But my ankle is still swollen, a little red and feells warm to touch. I have not went to the dr. simply because it doesn t really hurt anymore, it s just a little stiff. Is the normal for a sprain?

Hi,
Yes, it is normal to have stiffness after the injury around any joint, just give hot fomentation twice daily and do stretchings. Get your X-ray done if problem persists.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
