Fibromyalgia & Fractured Lateral Malleolus and Calcaneus
I have fibromyalgia and broke my ankle and heel this weekend. I am in a lot of pain and curious if anyone has any suggestions on what to ask my pain management doctor for (looking for suggestions on what to reduce swelling).

Elevate your leg with ice as often s possible to keep the swelling down. You can consider using NSAIDs and Tylenol for pain but be cautious to take the NSAIDs with food, not on an empty stomach. If this is very recent it’s a bad place to break and I presume you are on crutches.
