A member asked:

After i sprained both my ankles they haven't been the same. my feet swell and go numb and don't feel good. why? what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good therapy: Speaking from experience , many sprained ankles over the years. I have found that aggressive physical therapy after the incident has helped tremendously. It is true that they will always be a little sore especially every morning.
