Symptoms include visible swelling, stiffness, pain, and difficulty moving the ankle. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, using rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, draining the excess fluid to relieve discomfort and improve mobility.
