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 ...more

Do contrast bath ie. Take two tubs in one you can fill hot water (ie. Bearable heat) to immerse the feet in the tub and you will have good effect ie. Warmth effect. Further to that wipe with towel and immerse the feet in the cold water (ie. Ice water bath) which will help you to reduce the inflammation. Once this is done you can do some ankle movements to both the feet which will help you to boost and improve the blood circulation. As I said over the phone please use anklet which I have already ...more

Evidence suggests that syndesmosis sprains typically require 6 to 8 weeks for recovery, but this is variable. Chronic pain, instability, and functional limitations are common after syndesmosis sprains. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (rice) are the first steps following an ankle injury. After that, treatment depends on the specifics of the injury. Recovery time following syndesmosis sprain can take twice as long as recovery from other ankle sprains.

Cold compresses can help reduce swelling in the area. Cooling also helps to numb sharp pain. Apply an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, up to five times a day. Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin.

1. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day.
2. Prop your feet on cushions, pillows, or even things like phone books, when you sleep. Also try elevating your feet several times a day as well.
3. Get moving- If you sit or stand in one area for a long period of time (like at work), this can lead to swollen feet. Try to move a little bit each hour, even if it’s a walk to the break room, a walk around the block at lunch, flexing your knees and ankles, or a lap around the office.

Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (rice) are the first steps following an ankle injury. After that, treatment depends on the specifics of the injury. Patellar tendinitis (patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee), is a relatively common cause of pain in the inferior patellar region in athletes. It is common with frequent jumping and studies have shown it may be associated with stiff ankle movement and ankle sprains

It's been approx. 3-4 that I fell on ground and got an ankle sprain. Initially was not able to walk for 1-2 days coz of swelling. I am having the following problems: 1. Till date, my swelling has not ended. 2. As of now I can walk properly but can not run. 3. I got x-ray and all was fine in it. 4. The swelling part feels something like bone but I can't say that for assurity. 5. I got regular tel malish from nearby pahalwan for 1 month still no improvement. 6. I got physiotherapy including wax bath and ultrasonic for one month still no improvement. Anywhere I go people/doctors/physiotherapist charge there fee and still they have no explanation or treatment for this than charging me money. I am utilising this platform after losing from every other source as per my knowledge. I request not as a doctor but as a human being, instead of just focusing on your fee can any1 please tell me as to what exactly this is and how can I fox this.

You can also wear an ankle cap or crepe bange when walking.
Do not massage or apply oil on it.
No maalish.
Only icing, circular movement in air and pillow .
Rest.
Do this for a week.
