Help with Swelling!!!!!
In Dec I broke my left calf bone right at the ankle and dislocated the inside at the same time. I had surgery in Feb to repair it. I was on basically complete Bed rest for 6 weeks. Then I started Physical Therapy and have done that for 6 weeks and there wasn't a lot of big swelling until this week. Wednesday morning I woke up to my foot being huge and I went to PT and she made note and I have been keeping it up as much as possible, I went back to PT yesterday afternoon and my foot was 2x as swollen as it was Wed.
But that doesn't seem to be doing much. I take Naproxen 2x daily and Magnesium already. Is there anything else I can do? It is time for me to switch to a Lace up Ankle Brace from the Cam Boot but unfortunately yesterday even the boot was hard to put on. I do several foot exercises and have been icing it for 15 minutes every 2 hours like I was told but don't seem to be helping. 😭😭😭😭
