I have cycled for around 4 kms and from that day I'm having severe ankle joint pains. There is no swelling and redness either. What might be the reason and what are the remedies to be taken?

Hello dear, it might be the muscular & ligamental spasm or strain. Try ice pack applying over the ankle region. If complaints persist you can take homoeopathy medicines for the same. To know more & for any other concern you can call us or reach us online.

It can be because u r not accustomed to cycle 4 km. Any exercise that u start, increase load slowly. As our muscles are not accustomed. It take time to built stamina. Rest prevents further injury and avoids stress on already inflamed tissue. Put the ankle joint at rest by wearing a brace or splint. Ice is probably the best treatment. Ice will counteract the increased blood flow to the injured area. It will reduce the swelling, redness, and warmth. Applied soon after the injury, ice will prevent much of the inflammation from happening. Compression can help keep down swelling. Compression wraps, such as ace bandages, do not provide much support to prevent movement of the ankle, and you should not apply them tightly. Elevation (keeping the injured area up as high as possible) will help the body absorb fluid that has leaked into the tissue. Ideally, prop the ankle up so that it is above the level of your heart. You can do this in a reclining chair.
