Talk to Orthopedic Surgeon on Orthopedic
Asking for Self, Female, 29 years old, Lahore
I slipped from the last 2 stairs 2 weeks back. I didn't get an x-ray done as I'm pregnant. There was a lot of pain n swelling on my ankle which settled with crepe bandage n rest. Now I don't have any pain as such but the swelling is still there. What could be the reason for the swelling on my ankle? It doesn't even hurt upon touching but swelling is still there

if u dont have pain means u dont have frac, just do icing and rest, swelling will subside in 2 weeks to six weeks time period

well you have described your findings v well, clearly it is ankle sprain and ankle sprains are notorious that they recurr so to avoid repeated swellings its better to consult and we will prescribe you walking brace or air cast depending upon your symptoms...you can visit us we are availble these days as well
This most likely could be sprain.which means ligamentous injury..if there is no pain then nothing to worry about..but as for as swelling is concerned it will go with time.and it’s because of inflammatory response...keep leg elevated whenever sitting or lying...tablet danzen ds one tablet thrice a day will reduce swelling inshallah

There may be an underlying fracture but X-rays are not advised in early pregnancy. The best is to get yourself checked up by an orthopaedic surgeon
most probably its ankle sprain, which month of pregnancy? just elevate ur foot when sit or lying, dnt take any medicine without advice of your gynecologist

No worry just relax and keep foot Elevated at bed time ,put one pillow Beneath

In pregnancy ligaments are loose and it's easy to have ankle sprain, better needs ankle support, icing ' foot elevation at night and joggers usage for next two three weeks
