- Tenderness when you touch it

Treatment Options for Ankle Sprain in Gumbet
The doctor asks how the injury happened, judges whether a fracture is likely, advises on painkillers and care and arranges an X-ray or orthopaedic review when needed. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest pain relief, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
- Use a bandage for gentle support and raise the foot when sitting
