Question

Hello Mr Ramesh,

I can surely guide you with some Physiotherapy tips and exercises to reduce your right ankle pain and swelling

1. AVOID standing with bearing your entire body weight on R leg. This puts more pressure on the right ankle and it increases the fluid level causing pain and discomfort

2. To reduce the ankle swelling: Elevate both the ankles with the help of 2-3 pillows BELOW your heart level ONLY. This will encourage the fluid flow to go back to its home (lymph node exit) and weight of the ankle would also decrease.

3. ICE PACK: Apply ice pack in the same position with pillow between the ankles and under the R ankle as explained in point no 1. Apply it for about 20 minutes and repeat this 3-4 times/day

4. Continue with your pain medications or BP meds (if required)
