What Is 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.
Symptoms of Ankle Sprain
- Swelling and bruising
- Difficulty putting weight on the foot
- Tenderness when you touch it
- Stiffness and a feeling that the ankle is unstable
- Pain on the outer side of the ankle
Common Triggers
Rolling or twisting the foot on uneven paths, steps, wet floors, sand or in unsuitable shoes. Sport, hiking, dancing and flip-flops all add to the risk.
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. Typical choices are painkillers, 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
