Suggest Treatment For Swollen Ankles And Pain In Leg
I was wearing a tight knee brace daily for several days,only taking it off in the evening. My left leg and ankle swelled up and when the skin on my leg was pushed in with a finger,it took approximately 20 minutes for it to un dent . Today I did not wear my knee brace at all and rested a lot of the day, the swelling is now in my ankle only. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
Keep your limb elevated, apply some analgesic gel, apply cool packs, limit ambulation and take some NSAID like Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen. If the problem continues, see your clinician.
