Ankle sprain explained
An ankle sprain is a stretch or tear of the ligaments that support the ankle, typically after twisting the foot. It is one of the most common holiday injuries.
Why ankle sprain happens
Rolling or twisting the foot on uneven ground, steps, wet floors or sand, or in unsuitable shoes. Sport, hiking, dancing and flip-flops all add to the risk.
Typical symptoms
- Pain on the outer side of the ankle
- Stiffness and a feeling that the ankle is unstable
- Swelling and bruising
- Difficulty putting weight on the foot
Treatment options for ankle sprain in Kabatas
The doctor 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. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest painkillers, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
- Use a bandage for gentle support and raise the foot when sitting
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth for 15 to 20 minutes several times a day
- Rest the ankle and avoid heavy walking at first
