이번주는 폭염이라고 하니 건강챙기면서 잘 쉬는것도 좋을거 같네요...
I went to both dermatology and orthopedics because my ankle and ankle bone were swollen.
On Monday morning, after finishing my sit-up exercise, I got up and was surprised to see that my left ankle's outer ankle bone was swollen and bulging.
- When I went to the dermatologist, they said it was caused by irritation and prescribed medication including antibiotics.
- Went back to orthopedics and was prescribed medication for a small fluid-filled sac that had swollen between the peach bone cartilage.
- There was a prescription instructing both doctors to avoid stimulating activities like exercise and to rest, keeping the legs elevated.
There is no pain in the area, but swelling is causing concern, and since I believe the swelling is related to inflammation, I am taking thorough care.
After taking medication and resting at home for two days, the swelling seems to be slightly reduced, but when I went back today for a check-up, I was told it would take about a week and was advised to avoid exercise for a week.
If this inflammation is left untreated, it could potentially worsen into a more serious condition called 'Jichit Bonghwa inflammation,' so although it's very frustrating and boring, I will have to stay still and manage it carefully for a week.
