Hello dear user! I have gone through your query and understood your concerns! Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic. From your symptoms you are describing it seems that you have been more that a simple strained ankle. In my opinion you have to do a MRI of you foot to see the condition of you bones and ligaments. If it is a torn ligament it should be fixed surgically, if it is just a strained ligament and no damages in the bones, than conservative therapy should be followed. In such case take antiinflammatory drugs for the edema and pain of the ankle, such as Ibuprofen or diclofenac. Ketoprofen gel is another drug with very good effects used locally. Vitamin C or vitamin joint complex would help to recover quicker. I hope this answer was helpful to you! Please kindly rate it as helpful and write a short review about your experience with me! I would appreciate that a lot. Thank you and best regards! DR ERIOL.
