Ankle sprain explained
Twisting the foot can stretch or tear the ankle ligaments, which is a sprain, one of the most frequent injuries while travelling.
Signs of ankle sprain to look for
- Stiffness and a feeling that the ankle is unstable
- Tenderness when you touch it
- Pain on the outer side of the ankle
- Difficulty putting weight on the foot
What can cause ankle sprain
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.
Preventing ankle sprain
Wear supportive shoes on uneven ground and steps, avoid flip-flops on long walks and take care on wet tiles.
Treatment options for ankle sprain in Gocek
You explain how it happened, the physician examines the chance of a fracture, suggests painkillers 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.
