In brief: Sciatic pain. Yes. Ice is an excellent anti-inflammatory option. Try alternating moist heat to relax muscles and ice to reduce swelling. Physical therapy and stretching exercises are important additions to reduce the pain and prevent recurrence of the pain.
Ice your ankle. Apply ice to your ankle for 15â20 minutes at a time to help reduce swelling and decrease pain. When you put ice on your ankle, it reduces the blood flow to the area so the swelling will go down faster. Icing your ankle can also help you to cope with the pain. Wrap the ice pack with a towel before pressing it against your skin. After icing your ankle, wait about an hour before icing your ankle again.
