Swollen ankles are commonly the result of injury, usually caused by rolling, turning or twisting the ankle in a forceful manner. While a swollen ankle isn't a serious medical concern in and of itself, swollen ankles can cause discomfort and make it hard to perform day-to-day tasks. Luckily, there are some things you can do at home to ease the swelling that will help you get back on your feet faster.Avoid Physical ActivityIt might sound obvious, but a lot of people with swollen ankles try to solider on and go about their normal routine despite moderate pain and discomfort. When you have a swollen ankle, try to limit how much you move around. If you absolutely must do certain things, make sure you don't put too much pressure on the swollen ankle when you walk. Avoid exercise while your ankle is swollen.Use a CompressIf you must walk around on a swollen ankle, using a compress like an elastic bandage can help reduce pain until the swelling subsides. When you wrap your ankle with an elastic bandage, make sure it isn't too tight or you could cut off the blood flow. The bandage should be tight enough that it presses against your skin, but you should be able to get a fingertip into the top of the bandage.Use IceIce is an age-old remedy for swelling and it has stuck around because it really works. Use an ice pack or submerge swollen ankles in ice water for 10 to 15 minutes every 2 to 3 hours while swelling is still present. If you are diabetic or have any type of vascular disease you should talk with your doctor before using ice for extended periods of time to treat a swollen ankle.Elevate Your AnklePut your ankle above the level of your heart works to reduce swelling. Try propping your ankle up on a few pillows or another type of soft material like folded blankets. Avoid using a tabletop or the edge of a sofa that is firm that could put the wrong type of pressure on your ankle and actually increase any pain present.
Having same issue. Wore knee brace for long time yesterday, also while driving for a few hours in car. Now ankle is swollen. I'm thinking it probably cut off circulation to ankle. I'm also thinking it's not a good idea to keep these braces on while sitting for long periods. Someone said they put an ankle bandage On while they slept and it took the swelling away. Will definitely try tonight.

Go have a surgeon cut-out the herneated disc material. My cousin suffered from intense sciatica for 4 months and tried everything. Surgery was his only solution.
