What Can Cause Ankle Sprain
Rolling or twisting the foot on uneven ground, steps, wet floors or sand, or in unsuitable shoes. Sport, hiking, dancing and flip-flops all add to the risk.
What Is Ankle Sprain?
Twisting the foot can stretch or tear the ankle ligaments, which is a sprain, one of the most frequent injuries while travelling.
Typical Symptoms
- Pain on the outer side of the ankle
- Stiffness and a feeling that the ankle is unstable
- Difficulty putting weight on the foot
- Tenderness when you touch it
- Swelling and bruising
How to Lower Your Risk of Ankle Sprain
Wear supportive shoes on uneven ground and steps, avoid flip-flops on long walks and take care on wet tiles.
Care and Treatment for Ankle Sprain
You explain how it happened, the doctor evaluates the chance of a fracture, suggests painkillers and care, and organises an X-ray or an orthopaedic opinion if needed. Typical choices are pain relief, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
- Use a bandage for gentle support and raise the foot when sitting
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth for 15 to 20 minutes several times a day
- Start gentle movement as pain allows
