What Is Ankle Sprain?
An ankle sprain is a stretching or tearing of the ligaments that hold the ankle steady, normally after the foot twists. It is among the commonest 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.
Care and Treatment for Ankle Sprain
The doctor asks how the injury happened, judges whether a fracture is likely, advises on pain relief and care and arranges an X-ray or orthopaedic review when needed. Treatment can involve painkillers, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth for 15 to 20 minutes several times a day
- Start gentle movement as pain allows
- Use a bandage for gentle support and raise the foot when sitting
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
