Understanding 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
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.
Signs of ankle sprain to look for
- Difficulty putting weight on the foot
- Stiffness and a feeling that the ankle is unstable
- Tenderness when you touch it
How ankle sprain is treated
You explain how it happened, the doctor examines the chance of a fracture, suggests pain relief and care, and organises an X-ray or an orthopaedic opinion if needed. Treatment can involve pain relief, 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
- Use a bandage for gentle support and raise the foot when sitting
- Start gentle movement as pain allows
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
