After 16 days of ankle ligament injury
I had a grade 3 ligament year in right ankle about 16 days ago. The ankle was swollen and I applied crepe bandage, cold packs and took ample rest. I was in bed for last 16 days and now the swelling and pain has subsided quite a bit. But I still cannot walk and there is some pain and swelling when I keep the foot down for long times.
1. How much longer do you think it will still take for me to be able to walk?
2. What all should I do now? Any hot/cold packs, any exercise, medication, POP cast
