My mom is 48 years old and she is suffering from ankle swelling and pain since last two years. Her ankle got sprain nearly 10 years ago and at time she was in village so bandage was not provided and a lady cured the pain by twisting her bones. At that time she was well but now she is suffering. She is not interested in doing yoga at all. She has visited many doctors but no result is seen. Can you please tell any medicine for the same.

Has she done an x_ray of affected joint. Leg swelling generally occurs because of an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the lower extremity. Common causes of leg swelling include idiopathic edema (swelling of unknown cause), overweight, is older, salt retention, cellulitis, congestive heart failure, venous insufficiency, pregnancy, and medication side effects. Some tips that may help reduce swelling: 1.Put your legs on pillows to raise them above your heart while lying down. 2.Exercise your legs. This helps pump fluid from your legs back to your heart. 3.Follow a low-salt diet, which may reduce fluid buildup and swelling. 4.Wear support stockings (sold at most drugstores and medical supply stores). 5.When traveling, take breaks often to stand up and move around. 6.Avoid wearing tight clothing or garters around your thighs. 7.Lose weight if you need to.
