A member asked:

Sir i got foot ligament injured after 15days i started walking but there is 25%swelling but no pain should i continue walking? and any help to cure

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ligament sprain: If your function is back to normal, keep on walking. Try to keep your foot elevated when you're sitting especially. At night you may put a small pillow under your foot. Using a compression stocking may also help. The swelling should resolve soon.
