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.
Care and treatment for ankle sprain
The physician asks how the injury happened, judges whether a fracture is likely, advises on pain relief and care, and arranges an X-ray or an orthopaedic review when 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
- Start gentle movement as pain allows
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
