Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 21-year-old male. Before a month, I started jogging. But before three days ago, I saw my ankles with swelling. During the usual time, it does not hurt. But when I sit for a long time and after that when I start to walk, I have the pain. What can I do now for swelling?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I think you need to look at the shoes that you are wearing. You also need to look at the jogging track where you run. Take a break from jogging. Let the pain and swelling subside. Ice the area, and take anti-inflammatory tablets. Restart jogging and note any recurrence. If the swelling comes back, then you should consult a doctor and need to do an x-ray.
