About ankle sprain
An ankle sprain is a stretch or tear of the ligaments that support the ankle, normally after twisting the foot. It is one of the most frequent holiday injuries.
Signs of ankle sprain to look for
- Swelling and bruising
- Stiffness and a feeling that the ankle is unstable
- Difficulty putting weight on the foot
- Pain on the outer side of the ankle
Common triggers
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.
Bebek: local notes for ankle sprain
Bebek offers endless things to see and eat, and the crowds, heat and rich food are behind most of the problems travellers meet. Other places within reach include Arnavutkoy, Etiler, Levent. Steep cobbled streets and worn steps cause many sprains. Wear shoes with grip and rest the ankle before sightseeing more.
