I was walking yesterday and got a sharp pain in my right ankle and then struggled to walk on my left foot...similar to when you twist your ankle but much worse (and I hadn't twisted it!)
I rested up all night with an ice pack and took paracetamol & ibuprofen but this morning it was really stiff. Over the course of the day, my foot/ankle became more and more swollen and it has now spread up my calf (the muscle now feels similar to when you get cramp) and starting to go into my thigh.
I have been to the chemist and they advised to raise leg and to use a support bandage on my ankle, which I have been doing for the last few hours but it has not improved and my right leg is now significantly colder than the left and I am starting to worry that this is more than the sprain which I initially thought it was (but then I am a bit of a hypochondriac!)...has anyone had anything similar to this? And would you ring the 111 out of hours service or just wait until the doctors open again tomorrow?
