A member asked:
I had a seizure yesterday and my ankle locked up and it was twisted to the side and it still hurts. what should i do?

Rest: Sometimes injuries can occur during a seizure and it sounds as if you sustained an injury to your ankle. I would try conservative care with rest, ice, elevation, and compression along with gentle stretching but if there is no improvement in 2-3 days please see your health care provider for further guidance and management.
