No it is not normal Any swelling is a sign of either an injury to a joint, or a circulatory problem. And yes, it can cause knee pain because your dynamics and alignment will be out of kilter. Be more conscious of how you walk and stand.

And look at the heels of your shoes-is there uneven wear on one side or the other or even on both sides? That will show that your ankles are rolling inward our outward when you walk. You can get some simple inexpensive heel pads at Hapad.Com to stop you from doing that, and it will make a different to knees and hips and give a bit of cushion too.

You can also try yoga=stand on one foot like a flamingo, then the other. It aligns your body and helps improve your balance, and strengthens the muscles so that turning an ankle becomes less likely and your knee more firm and in balance. You can also try a support banadage for a couple of days to help take the strain off the joint, and give it some rest and elevation.

If it persists for more than another week after trying a few of these solutions, you really do need to go back to your doctor.

I have this problem too... and am scheduled for surgery I have sprained left ankle twice, and the right one third time in march, I just got some bum ankles. I told the doctor then, I wanted an MRI cause this is no normal sprain. But followed the docs advice.

Anyway, my doctor had me wear this huge boot, wore it for like 6 weeks or something, no improvement. Then physical therapy, they told me how I would get better... NOPE! I know my body, I have had my share of sprain ankles, this one felt worse than the others, I am older than when the others occurred, but still it just did not feel right, cancelled therapy after a few sessions, go back to doctor, ask for an MRI, bingo: yep it was much worse, sends me to orthopedic (?) don't know what they diagnosed my ankle as but he this guy kind of moved my foot and in 30 seconds knew what therapy and family doc didn't know but scheduled me for surgery right there on the spot.

Request an MRI and go see an orthopedic. They will hold off recommending that of course because of $, but with as much as we all pay for healthcare, demand it.

It is very normal for the swelling plus it can cause knee pain. The ankle and knee are connected. Once the muscles in the ankle get weakened it starts using the muscles from the knee for help.

Or you may not even realize it but you may be walking a little different to protect your ankle and that is what is causing the pain. If your injury is lasting this long it's best to see an orthopedic surgeon. Html.

You can perform it at home by following a program, or you can also see a physiotherapist. Org.

1 I don't think its normal but everyone heals differently. You need to see a doctor to make sure everything is ok. As for the knee pain, I can't say for sure because I am not a doctor and no one else on Askville is either and we can't give medical advice ....but when I sprained my ankle, it did cause me some knee pain because it does change your gait.

Best go get it looked at so you don't end up doing some kind of damage. In the mean time, when I had sprains, epsom salt soaks were my best friend.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
