Suggest Treatment For Swollen Ankle After An Injury

I was sitting on a mattress near the floor, I was stretching over to grab something when I heard my ankle pop. Ever since then, its been swelling up. Especially if I am wearing flats. Also, sometimes it feels like a small pin is poking me. Is there something wrong?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

The way you have described it appears that you have probably injured some ligament in the ankle joint.
I suggest MRI confirm the diagnosis. The treatment would depend on the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
