Most trusted means to reduce swelling after 2 weeks above ankle?

Ice, ice, ice: Ice is god's natural antiinflammatory medication. Try wrapping it with ace wraps while cooling the area down and try internal antiinflammatory medications over the counter like Motrin or Ibuprofen (use as directed on label). Hope this helps!
