How long should my ankle be swollen after I sprain it?!
Question: How long should my ankle be swollen after I sprain it!?
I've kept with the normal RICE method, but it's still as swollen as it was 4 days ago!.
It's also swollen up to the toes!. It's pretty gross!. I can feel the fluid giggle when I'm walking around on my crutches!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I sprained my ankle just over 5 weeks ago!. In the time Ive been resting, elevating, icing, compressing and taking anti inflamatory tablets and it is STILL very swollen!.
4 days isnt too bad!. Just keep doing what youre doing!. Ice it for no longer than 15 minutes at a time, try to wear a compression bandage to squeaze the swelling out and take some iboprofen a few times a day!. And try to keep it mobile - even if its just tracing the alphabet with your big toe!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
