To find short-term relief for ankle pain while waiting to see an orthopedic foot and ankle doctor, you can try the following remedies:
1. Rest: Avoid putting weight on the affected ankle as much as possible and give it time to heal.
2. Ice: Apply ice to the painful area for about 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours to reduce swelling and alleviate pain.
3. Compression: Use a compression bandage or ankle brace to provide support and reduce inflammation.
4. Elevation: Elevate your foot by propping it up on a pillow or cushion to help reduce swelling.
5. Over-the-counter pain relievers: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen, can help reduce pain and inflammation. However, consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication.
Please note that these remedies are meant to provide temporary relief and it is important to consult with an orthopedic foot and ankle doctor for a proper diagnosis and long-term treatment options.
Dr. Izzo and his team are proud to accept insurance from most major providers. While care for ankle pain is typically covered by health insurance, it is best to check with your own provider for specific details regarding coverage.
