Swollen Foot – 6 weeks later

Submitted by on Friday, July 31, 2009 – 5:42 pmNo Comment |

I know the guys from my Kendo dojo are wondering where I have been for the past 6 weeks.  I thought my ankle was finally healed but last week, it started to swell up again.  This surprised me a bit.  Injuries in tropical climates, such as Vietnam, just seem to take forever to heal.

I am now using Fastum Gel which, as my pharmacist told me, will heal help the ankle heal from the inside (translation, sorry).   Before, I had wrapped my ankle and used Tiger Balm to get the swelling down.  The pharmacist also gave me several other medicine, which, I used only once. He also wanted me to stop wearing shoes.

Boy, I hate sport injuries.
