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.
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.
Signs of ankle sprain to look for
- Tenderness when you touch it
- Swelling and bruising
- Difficulty putting weight on the foot
- Stiffness and a feeling that the ankle is unstable
Local tips for ankle sprain in Cihangir
Nightlife is the main draw in Cihangir, and the mix of heat, drinks and short sleep explains many of the morning-after calls to a doctor. Other places within reach include Sirkeci, Laleli, Dolmabahce. High heels, cobbles and late nights on stairs are a common cause. Take care on uneven pavements, and rest and ice any sprain.

Care and treatment for ankle sprain
The physician asks how the injury happened, judges whether a fracture is likely, advises on painkillers and care, and arranges an X-ray or an orthopaedic review when needed. Treatment can involve painkillers, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
- Start gentle movement as pain allows
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth for 15 to 20 minutes several times a day
