Well about 2 months ago I had an accident on my bike, There were some scrapes and swelling about 4 inches above my ankle. I noticed the swelling right away and put ice on it. I have a very busy schedule so since I didn't hurt I would forget to ice it often as I should. I iced it good for a week (which was about a month ago) and now 95% of the swelling is gone. I will say that i didn't ice it for a few days straight like I should of but never the less I saw improvement so I figured its good. I also coach basketball and both of my other jobs require me to be on my feet all day. There is still a small amount of swelling that just really won't go away. Icing it seems to help but when every I need to go to work and walk it seems to kinda go back it the small swelling that it does. I am lost on what do, not sure why the swelling keeps coming back, also there is no pain at all!

I hope you could find time to consult your doctor for physical examination and possible diagnostic procedures such as X-ray. Drugs to reduce swelling maybe prescribed, depending on your doctor's evaluation.

Hello,
Consult with your doctor for a referral to a physical therapist. You didn't do proper rehabilitation to your left ankle, as a result, it's now affecting your right ankle.
