Hi,
I'm not sure whether I'd be wasting my GP's time by trying to get an appointment.. but my ankle has been swollen for a few weeks, it started off slight with some aching now and then.. it would sort of go down, then up again. It's suddenly got worse over the last week or so, it's soft, not hard, like it's full of water - but not, it's spread from just my ankle to over the top of my foot as well.
I'm trying to elevate it, rest as much as possible, using tiger balm, using ankle support. Nothing helping so far, it feels warm to the touch but not all the time.. it's achey and sometimes itchy/tingly
Do you think I should visit gp? What usually causes a swollen ankle??
