swollen ankle
I had surgery on th 21st on my foot. I had an implant called HyproCure placed between the joints of my ankles. I am extremely flat footed to the point it was painful to walk for too long. I also had a bone spur shaved down. I started walking without crutches last Wednesday On the 25th. My ankle is still swollen because my tendons have to finish healing and I have to get use to walking with my foot in the right position. Today I noticed when I push on the swollen part of my foot, it leaves an indent for about 10 seconds and goes away. Can tou please help me?
Us Massage Therapists call this the "R.I.C.E" method R=REST, I=ICE, C=COMPRESSION, and E=ELEVATION..to your healing foot/feet......good luck
It sounds like you are describing swelling. After any surgery, or even with the bodies own process of healing it is common to notice swelling. If you are experiencing pain, or noticing other symptoms that aren't normal to your body you should visit your Doctor.
