A member asked:
Sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago. less painful now but the area is hard and still swollen, much less compared to last week though. is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely yes: I am assuming this is on the outside part of your ankle. How are you doing walking, going up/down steps? Good news is it is improving. Some simple exercises, moving foot up/down and in/out can help. Pretend you have crayon between big and second to and try to spell letters of the alphabet with your foot. Good time to start applying heat 2-3 times a day.Ice still good after exercises for 20 min
