Ankle pain. No swelling but very painful?

Sprained ankle been 3 weeks today. Still minor pain/swelling.?

  • Sprained my ankle playing basketball 3 weeks ago. First 72 hours i Used the RICE method and so on. After I have been using heat packs and epsom salt baths daily. However, its been 3 weeks and the swelling is still there, no bruised colors, but the swelling is there, and i can walk fine without any pain. I have a basektball match coming up on the 13 of february. I need this swelling and minor pain to go away. Should i keep up with the epsom salt/heat or should i start icing it? what can i do to heal this asap. thank u.

  • Answer:

    Well, depending upon the severity of the sprain, how you got it, and how well it's been taken care of, it can take up to about a month for pain to leave completely, and probably a bit longer than that for it to finish healing. Try to keep off it a bit more.

swelling after 3 weeks is pretty normal. buy a brace to wear when playing sports. continue with the epsom salt and ice would be a great idea. keep it elevated about your heart. also buy an ace bandage and wrap it up tight it will take away swelling.
