A member asked:
Is toe and lower foot swelling common after a sprained ankle cause by auto accident?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Your whole foot can swell after an ankle sprain. And an auto accident can cause soft tissue injury in your foot as well. It takes about 3 months for swelling to completely resolve after this type of injury. However, if you have pain in the location of swelling it should be further evaluated.
