Hi my fiancee was edging the lawn today and a rock flew back and hit his ankle pretty hard on the right inside where the circle is. His ankle is swelling but doesnt look discolored too bad or out of place. We have no insurance and no extra money. Please help with any suggedtions
Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post are due to the impact as well as accumulation of fluid & blood (Hematoma). Symptomatic relief is obtained by analgesics preparations (like Diclofenac + Serratiopeptidase), ice compression & adequate rest. If it still persists or there are any other associated symptoms like fever, loss of sensation, restriction of movements, discoloration of foot, etc...then it will be better to consult your Doctor. An X-ray of the ankle joint will be needed to rule out any bone fracture or soft tissue injury. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
