I had an x-ray done and the results were negative. So, the dr gave me Relafen, 750mg, 2 times a day. I can't do that though. The Relafen is too strong and I take 1/2 a pill at night. It knocks me out cold. The swelling is still present though and it still hurts if I sit in the tub with warm water. I also can't wear ankle socks without it causing some discomfort. I saw the dr. 2 weeks ago and she didn't give me a time frame. I have a call in to one of the nurses but am waiting on a callback. Does it usually take a very long time for healing even if there's no visible bruising now and no cracks or chips in the bone? I've also noticed that one of my veins behind my knee is showing up quite nice, which could be from the pulled hamstring I had back in July. Would this have anything to do with my ankle?
