Ankle Fracture

I broke my ankle in 8 places in 2012.  I have screws and metal plate in my left leg due to the fracture. I am obese and on a weightloss program before surgery to reconstruct the ankle .  I  swim a mile a day, 6 days a week. What type of relief can I get for the ache in the ankle area and swelling, after the swimming workout.

If you do not already if I were you I would ice and elevate the ankle.
