Flying isn't a : Contraindication. You can speak to your internist to see if they recommend Aspirin or the like. Elevation of the foot is also good if can be done. In flight excercising can be done.

I sprained my ankle a week ago. The pain started as excruciating but now it's just swollen, feels numb and achey. Almost like it needs to pop. My job requires a lot of walking and I have a brace & follow the RICE method. When should I see a doctor?
