A member asked:
Sprained ankle a while ago, pain went away after a few days but swelling took several weeks to go down. 4-5 months later there's very slight swelling but gets worse if i sit on that foot, and occasionally after a hot shower. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: get examined and evaluated for post traumatic arthritis or dependent edema from vascular causes.
