Suggest Treatment For Swollen Ankle
I hit the inside of my ankle on a piece of metal 10 days ago. It hurt at first, then I forgot about it until about an hour after I hit it I saw it was swollen. It is still swollen and bruise. It hurts to touch it. It doesn t hurt to walk. I iced it the first day. It is still swollen after 10 days
