A member asked:
My ankle is swollen and i went to the hospital to get xrays done and they show nothing new but it hurts around the ankle! what should i do?

RICE: Rest, ICE, compression and elevation are the best thing to do for your ankle. I assume it is a sprain or strain. Ankle injuries take a long time to heal. Be patient!
