Ankle Ligament Surgery is typically recommended when the ligaments in your ankle are severely torn or stretched and do not heal properly with conservative treatments such as physiotherapy, rest, or bracing. Here are 5 remedies for recovery after ankle ligament surgery that can help reduce pain, support healing, and restore function.
1. Rest and Elevation - Minimizes swelling and allows healing.Keep the leg elevated above heart level, especially during the first few days post-surgery. Avoid weight-bearing activities until advised by your doctor.
2. Cold Therapy - Reduces swelling and pain.Apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel to the surgical area for 15–20 minutes every 2–3 hours during the initial days.
3. Physical Therapy - Restores strength, flexibility, and balance.Follow a guided rehabilitation plan with a physiotherapist, typically beginning a few weeks after surgery, progressing gradually.
4. Pain Management - Controls post-operative discomfort.Use prescribed medications such as NSAIDs or painkillers, and follow the dosing schedule carefully. Avoid self-medicating.
5. Wound Care and Infection Prevention - Ensures proper healing and avoids complications.Keep the surgical site clean and dry. Follow all post-op wound care instructions and report any signs of infection (e.g., redness, pus, fever) to your doctor immediately.
