"Some people have a serious sprain, but they don't know it and miss the best time to see a doctor." The doctor reminded you to go to the hospital in time according to the situation after spraining your ankle.
"Many people think that others sprained their ankles and sprained their ankles. It is normal for them to have swelling and pain after spraining their ankles, so they don't need to go to the hospital. Some patients with ligament injury or even fracture didn't realize that they had suffered such a heavy injury. Choose to rest for a few days and continue walking after the pain is relieved. Often the ligament in the injured part will tear and not heal, leading to chronic ankle instability or continuous walking after fracture, aggravating the fracture, displacing the fracture, and forming traumatic arthritis of the ankle joint in the later stage of fracture deformity healing, which seriously limits the patient's mobility and greatly reduces the quality of daily life. "
Why did you sprain your ankle?
Ankle sprain is a common sports injury.
After ankle sprain, it often leads to excessive traction or tearing of ligaments around the ankle joint, and in serious cases, it will cause fractures around the ankle joint. Because the ankle joint is the load-bearing joint of human movement, its state directly affects the quality of life.
When we walk down stairs, downhill, after taking off, or on rough roads in high heels, once we can't balance, it is easy to cause ankle sprain. In most cases, our feet are inverted when injured, and the injured part is the lateral structure of the ankle joint.
The doctor pointed out that after sprain, some people will swell their whole feet because of hematoma caused by bleeding, and some people will have local bruises around their ankles. This is because there are small blood vessels on the surface of ligament, and the rupture of peripheral blood vessels after ligament injury will cause local abrasion. The heavier the bruises and swelling, the heavier the ankle injury.
How to deal with ankle sprain?
"After spraining your ankle, if you feel that the pain is not serious, and there is no bruise or redness, you can observe it at home; If within a few hours, the sprained part becomes red, swollen and bruised, and the pain is aggravated, you should go to the hospital immediately. "
The doctor said: "On the contrary, if there is no swelling, no obvious pain and no bruises after sprain, we will think that the chance of hurting ligaments and bones is very small, so we can rest and observe first. If the symptoms are not aggravated, the problem is generally not big. "
When the ligament is completely broken, you will hear a bang. If you hear a click at the same time, it may be broken. If you sprain your ankle and hear this sound, it often means that the injury is serious.
If you can't judge the degree of ankle sprain, you can follow the rice principle and go to the hospital as soon as possible to be judged by a specialist.
Remind everyone that if it is serious, please go to the hospital for examination in time.
