A member asked:
Ortho says my painful/swelling ankle is fine and gave me ketoprofen. but every night my ankle is swollen again from day's walking. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fine for Whom?: Maybe it's fine for him, but I would be getting another opinion. The question is to the probable reason for the swelling and pain. The answer is not "fine".
