My ankle is in pain

[nathalie84]

I walked down the hill wearing heels when I was down to Newport, Wales for holidays. I fell down , since then my ankle doesn't stop to hurt me.

I thought about going to see a physiotherapist but is it the right choice to do when you have that kind of problem?

You will probably tell me to go and see my GP , but I'm looking for more quick result.

Thank you very much

You've probably sprained your ankle. The best remedy is to wrap some frozen peas in a tea towel and place it against the part that hurts for 10 minutes, once every hour for four hours every evening, and while you're doing it, lie down on the bed and put a cushion under your ankle so it is raised above your heart. Or every morning, if you're at home. Also, it would be good to buy an ankle support from your local chemist. It's like a sock but supports your ankle while you're walking about. Just tell them you've sprained your ankle. The pain should have gone in less than a week. It worked for me. Good luck.

nathalie84 if you need any medic to treat your leg I would recommend you Annie Josseron.

But for now, the recommendation you got above my reply are good to start healing the pain.

Take care of you

An amazing coincidence that nathalie84 has hurt her ankle and receives a recommendation for findoc just after she herself has recommended them on another thread.
