Understanding Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain is a stretch or tear of the ligaments that support the ankle, generally after twisting the foot. It is one of the most common holiday injuries.
Why Ankle Sprain Happens
Uneven paths, steps, slippery floors, soft sand and poor footwear lead to a rolled ankle, and sport, hikes, dancing and flip-flops increase the chance.
How Ankle Sprain Feels
- Swelling and bruising
- Pain on the outer side of the ankle
- Tenderness when you touch it
- Difficulty putting weight on the foot
