Answer 2

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Answer 3

Take homeopathic medicines.
Pulsatilla 1m, Bovista 1m, Lycopodium 1m, Ferrum Iodide 200.
Eat 6-8 pills from each once alternate day. These are easily available. Get them made in pills from any nearest homeopathic clinic.
The swelling on ankles can be due to minor circulation problems. Still it's better to get your heart checked from physician. kidney and liver problems also can't be ruled out. The above medicines have helped women in minor to serious cases. Observe their effects for 10 days and if nothing improves contact a physician.

Well you need to contact your doctor. It could be several things going on in your body. You can retain water if something is going on with your heart, sometimes if you eat allot of foods high in sodium can do it. If the doctor thinks it is just water building up they can give you a fluid pill and it will make you pee allot more but it keeps the water out of your body.
So please go to the doctor for a checkup

Answer 5

elevate the ankle. If you are retaining water your doctor may put you on a water pill to help the retention go down. Good luck

Answer 6

Are you sure it's water retention. This could signify a bigger problem like issues with your heart. (Congestive heart failure causes fluid retention in the ankles.) You need to see a doctor. If you know for sure it's not something like this, try surgical stockings when you are sleeping. You could also try an over the counter diuretic. I think they are located with the diet pills.

Answer 7

Try vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) 50 mg. twice daily & before bed. also use stingle nettle root extract capsules twice daily Better than Lasix - swelling should go down, if due to water retention.

Answer 8
