it's normal. Keep putting on the ointment. It will start to look better soon. Both of my ankles were red and puffy for about 5 days. and they look good now.

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?

Yep, normal. When you are on your feet during the day, your feet and ankles swell. All the fluid tends to "pool" at the feet and ankles. Don't worry, things will even out soon. Keep taking care of it as instructed and elevate it when you can. Mine hurt and looked like the day it was done for almost a week and a half. It's tough to deal with but it does get better:)

You just had a little needle puncture your skin hundreds or thousands of time. Don't you think your skin MIGHT be a little irritated by such action? You just forced a foreign substance (the inks) under your skin. Don't you think your body MIGHT just react?

yeah, don't worry about it. If thats the worst of it you will be fine, the ankle is just a sensitive area. If it was worse then it could be infected or you could be allergic, but i think your good.
