I'm allergic to NSAIDs as well, but sometimes I can use Voltaren gel since it doesn't touch my stomach or GI tract. What are you using for bracing? What about taping? I have an amazing friend who is also a disabled PT. She's helped me through a ton and I'll happily pass on anything I've learned from her. I'm kind of in a similar situation with two bad knees post surgery and I can barely walk. if you want to vent or just want advice, my dms are open. also also, what kind of insurance do you have? there has to be a PT that has a quicker appointment. it's important af. I'll help you find one of you want. pls let me know if I'm overstepping but I want to help!

I suggest MRI to rule out ligament/tendon injury. Thought I had an ankle sprain (xrays, ortho visit, ankle injection)....ended up going for MRI a week later when nothing improved. I had ruptured ligament & tendon. Was in surgery within 2 days.

if u put ur other foot on a heating pad it will fool ur brain into thinking the temp is normal
i hate ice myself it hurts! heat also hurts! u can do kinesiology tapping on ur ankle it will bring down swelling and support ur ankle u can get k-tape @ wm for not too much 15$ or amazon i hope u feel better.
