What should I do if my ankle is sprained?

After ankle sprain, pain, swelling, subcutaneous ecchymosis and active ankle pain are aggravated. Examination shows that the wound has localized tenderness points, the ankle joint is compressed by plantar flexion, and the pain is aggravated when the foot is varus or valgus. The causes and symptoms of ankle sprain are pain, swelling, subcutaneous ecchymosis and aggravated ankle pain after ankle sprain. Examination shows that the wound has localized tenderness points, the ankle joint is compressed by plantarflexion, and the pain is aggravated when the foot is varus or valgus, that is, it should be diagnosed as ankle ligament injury, and sometimes it is difficult to diagnose as partial ligament injury, relaxation or complete fracture. When the ankle joint is extremely varus under pressure, the lateral joint space can be obviously widened by X-ray, or the talus is found to be subluxated forward on the lateral radiograph, mostly because the lateral collateral ligament is completely damaged, just outside the ankle joint. It is very important to deal with ankle sprain correctly in the early stage. Because ligament tissue is not easy to regenerate and recover, if it turns into a chronic disease due to improper treatment or misdiagnosis, it may leave dysfunction and be easy to sprain again in the future. After the occurrence of acute injury, activities should be stopped immediately to reduce bleeding. Immediately wash the injured part with cold water or ice to stop bleeding, and then send it to hospital for treatment. Recommended reading: What should I do if my foot is sprained?
