A member asked:
I broke my ankle about 8 years ago and was wondering if there is suppose to be swelling still? or do i maybe have fluid?

Doubtful: It would be very unusual to have true swelling eight years after an acute injury, unless the swelling is due to something else entirely. You need to have this checked out.
