A member asked:

Doc said i sprained ankle 3 wks ago. at the time it was size of baseball. now golfball. still a little bruised. should i see doc again? i can walk

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes since swelling: Since you still have swelling I would see the physician again. To be certain that there aren't any changes that may be able to be picked up clinically now that the swelling is less
