A sprained ankle is a common injury. This kind of injury is usually caused by walking on an uneven surface. Some 25 thousand people face this grave injury every day. Sometimes, the pain in the beginning is bearable. Later on, the ankle begins to swell. It may hurt so much that you are unable to stand.
There are two kinds of sprains: an inverse sprain (where the ankle rolls inwardly) or and eversion sprain (where the ankle rolls outwards). Any pain along the inner side of the ankle is an indication that there has been serious injury to the tendon or the ligaments. Such an injury should be brought before an experienced doctor.
Research shows that you are likely to suffer from a sprain when your toes are on the ground. This position is especially precarious for your ligaments. A sudden landing on an uneven surface can shift the ankle inward. This suddenly puts enormous strain on some of your ligaments. This causes the injury.
A sprain can be difficult to distinguish from a fracture at first glance. While you should certainly seek the expert advice of a doctor, there are some simple steps you can take to treat a sprain on your own:
1. Give complete rest to the affected ankle. Do not walk with it or put any pressure. If you have to walk, then use crutches. An ankle brace can control swelling and give stability while the ligaments are undergoing the healing process.
2. Apply ice to control the swelling. Wrap ice cubes in a cloth and then apply to the affected
area. Do not put ice for more than 20 minutes at a time.
3. Compression can help control the swelling and can support your injury.
4. Keep the ankle elevated by reclining it above the waist level.
Swelling should diminish after a few days. Some sprains are so serious that they require urgent surgical procedure. However, such sprains are rare.
The injured ligament needs time to heal itself. The first stage of the healing process involves resting the ankle and reducing the swelling. Then it is time to restore your ankle’s flexibility. Then you should do some simple exercises to give strength to the ligaments in the ankles.
After an extended period of rest, you should be able to again put some pressure on the ankle. This is the perfect time to start doing simple leg exercise. Start gradually and slowly increase the length and intensity of the exercise routine. Regular exercise adds flexibility, balance and range of motion to the ankle. Later on, you can think about jogging with a supportive ankle brace.
