About 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
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.
Care and treatment for ankle sprain
You explain how it happened, the physician evaluates the chance of a fracture, suggests pain relief and care, and organises an X-ray or an orthopaedic opinion if needed. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest painkillers, 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
