left ankle i went in on sunday a couple hours after my injury and i was told it was an ankle sprain. 2 days later and the swelling is worse. to give you some background this ankle has been surgically repaired for ligament damage. because of the the swelling becoming worse do i need to go back in right away or still give it a couple of days? also the majority of pain is on the inside of my ankle and on top. thanks.
Hello, As per your history, it may be due to muscle strain.  For further assessment kindly do MRI foot after consultation.  Till then, you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel. Heating pads will help.  Restrict your movements. Use support while walking. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
