When does the swelling stop?

Swelling often increases over the first 6 weeks and then reduces to normal over the next 6 weeks.
This is the normal way the body heals. Rest and elevation helps. As the foot swells it is common to have stiffness and mild nerve pain so attention to swelling is important.
