Suggest Treatment For Persistent Pain In Ankle Caused Due To Sprain
Dear Doctor,I sprained my ankle last weekend and I m wearing a cast for a week. I d like to ask why is it, that it hurts when I first get out of bed in the morning? Later in the day it stops hurting and I can walk (to the bathroom, kitchen) with the crutches without pain. I feel like it is already healing, but then each morning it s always in the same state.I normally put my leg up high on pillows and lay almost all day.Thank you for your answer.

I can understand your concern
pain in ankle region due to sprain is difficult for anyone
here I would like to knoe is there any swelling around the ankle
try to avoid weight bearing on that leg
moreover plz apply elastic crepe bandage till above the painful area
give rest to that joint
as you are keeping limb elevation is suggestable
take medication like acecloplus to reduce the pain
take multivitamin for neuropathy
don't worry ..if not subsided need to see the x ray ankle ..ok
