Ankle Swelling and Pain in the Elderly
Question: My aunt is 77 years old. Over half a month ago, the area around both ankles swelled, and walking became painful. X-rays showed no bone issues, but the swelling has persisted for more than half a month. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and suggest a treatment method?
Answer: The elderly often suffer unnoticed injuries, such as spraining their ankles. This is essentially traumatic periarthritis of the joint. It’s nothing serious—just apply Yunnan Baiyao topical warm compress (if there’s acute inflammation, use cold compress instead).
