Why is my ankle still swollen and extremely itchy three weeks after a fall, even though I took Myospaz, used a bandage, an X-ray showed no broken bones, and my blood tests were normal except for low vitamin B12 and vitamin D?
I am so sorry you are still dealing with this discomfort. Since your X-ray showed no broken bones, the ongoing swelling is likely from a soft tissue or ligament sprain, which can take several weeks to heal. The extreme itching is also quite common; it can be a reaction to the bandage material (contact dermatitis) or a natural part of your nerves healing. Try leaving the bandage off to let your skin breathe, keep your leg elevated, and use a gentle moisturizer. Please follow up with your doctor to address your low vitamin B12 and D, and to ensure your recovery is on track.
