PT: You should get set up with physical therapy to improve peroneal muscle strength and balance sense (proprioception). See your primary care doctor or orthopaedic surgeon to get examined and a prescription for physical therapy. A compression stocking will help swelling resolution. Many of these recover with time but p.T. Is recommended.

Have it evaluated.: Ankle pain following and injury may last a long time. The pain may be due to a fracture, sprains, arthritis, or a soft tissue injury involving the tendon, ligaments or nerves . Have the foot evaluated so that you may get the appropriate care.
