Cause No.3: Trauma or injury
It is plain as a day that a foot injury can cause ankle swelling, however more than the injury itself, sometimes the trauma of an injury or a tragedy can lead to elevated stress that can lead to an ankle injury. Patients suffering from ankle injury are actively advised to follow the RICE regime – a system that involves rest, icing, compression, and elevation. It’s quite effective in reducing the pain and the swelling while also eliminating any possible future dangers.
