How fast is a minor ankle sprain?

Management after ankle sprain:

First of all, after the injury, avoid continuing to bear weight or walk, and do not rub the wound by a companion.

The affected ankle can be bandaged and fixed in a mild valgus position after 90 years of dorsal extension of the foot and ankle can be bandaged or fixed with a bandage, and the walking can be restricted, and the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment.

For mild symptoms, cold water or a cold washcloth can be applied and the affected limb elevated immediately after the injury. At this time, the cold compress can constrict the blood vessels, reduce local congestion, reduce tissue temperature, and play the role of hemostasis, swelling and analgesia. Therefore, after an acute sprain, a local cold compress should be applied as soon as possible.

Elevating the affected limb can speed up the return of blood and lymph fluid, so that blood stasis will not accumulate in the blood vessel injury.

Cold compress method: Put a towel soaked in cold water on the wound and change it every 3 minutes or so, or you can put ice cubes in a plastic bag for external compression, 20 to 30 minutes each time. In summer, you can use tap water to rinse, and the rinsing time is generally about 4 to 5 minutes, not too long.

If the ankle sprain has been more than 24 hours, a warm compress should be used instead**. At this time, warm compresses can improve blood and lymphatic circulation, which is conducive to the absorption of bruising and exudate from the wound.

Hot compress method: Put a towel soaked in hot water or hot vinegar on the injured area, and replace the towel after 5 to 10 minutes when there is no heat. Apply 1 2 times a day for about 30 minutes each time.

After the sprain of the joint, it should be treated in time, the principle is to immobilize and reduce swelling and stasis, so that the damaged tissue can be well repaired. If there is a large amount of hemarthrosis, it should be withdrawn in time under aseptic technique to avoid intra-articular adhesions after sequea. Ligament rupture or avulsion fracture that affects joint stability requires surgical reduction repair to avoid recurrent sprains, articular cartilage damage and traumatic arthritis.

Apply ice immediately after a sprain to stop bleeding and reduce bruising. Go back and lay the injured leg flat as high as you can, which will relieve the pain. Apply a warm compress before going to bed at night and rub the injured area with safflower oil until you feel hot, which can promote the healing of the broken blood vessels.

Repeat for a few days, don't move around a lot, this will recover quickly. (Ice compress is used immediately after injury, but it cannot be used after that.) Good luck soon**.

Safflower oil works very well, and it will be fine if you use ice a few times.

Cold compress for the first three days, hot compress for the last three days!

Ankle sprain is a very common injury, commonly known as "broken foot". Ankle sprains are more likely to occur in daily life, travel, sports and other activities, especially wearing high heels or platform shoes.

In the event of an ankle sprain, the correct emergency treatment is as follows:

1.Immediately stop walking, exercising, working and other activities, take a sitting or lying position, and at the same time, use pillows, bedding or clothing, backpacks, etc. to raise the feet to facilitate venous return, thereby reducing swelling and pain.

2.Apply an ice pack or cold washcloth to the area immediately to constrict the capillaries to reduce bleeding or oozing, thereby reducing swelling and pain.

3.At the same time or after applying a cold compress, you can use a bandage, triangular towel and other cloth to compress and wrap around the ankle joint. The ankle joint can also be fixed with several strips of wide tape from the sole of the foot to the ankle joint and the back of the foot to reduce range of motion.

Tape or tape the injured lateral malleolus to form a foot valgus or the injured medial malleolus to form a foot varus to reduce or avoid stretching on the injured collateral ligament or muscle, thereby reducing or avoiding aggravating the injury.

4.Do not massage the injured area after the injury, do not apply hot compresses immediately, and hot compresses should be started 24 hours after the injury.

As a person who has come over, I would like to advise you not to move if you have a sprained foot. I started playing basketball when I was 3 years old in elementary school, and I started to sprain my right foot in junior high school, and now I have more than 10 or 20 sprains in my sophomore year, and now it has become a habitual sprain, and a serious twist can only be cured in 4 or 5 months, and a slight one can take more than half a month. You don't know the grievance in my heart, saying that my foot is injured and playing is not good, others will scoff at it, and even the fact that my playing strength has declined rapidly cannot be used as evidence.

Alas, if you hurt your foot, take care of it well, try not to move, otherwise it will be easy to sprain the same position in the future. When you sprain a compress, apply cold or ice water to reduce blood flow and reduce pain, and when you get up the next day, because you don't move your feet overnight, it will touch the injured tendon and hurt badly, so you can apply the medicine compress. The swelling is normal, and it is generally good for 3 or 4 days without a minor injury, or it will be recovered in less than a week.

Make sure the bones are okay and listen to the doctor's instructions to rest.

In daily life, it is common for the foot to be sprained due to careless walking, what should I do about it?

1. Distinguish the severity of the injury. If you can stand with weight and barely walk after a foot sprain, it means that the sprain is mild and you can deal with it yourself; If you have severe pain in the ankle after the foot sprain, you can't stand or move with weight, press the painful place on the bone, and gradually swell, it means that the bone may be sprained, and you should go to the hospital immediately for radiographic treatment.

2. Use hot and cold compresses correctly. In the early stages of a sprain, a small ruptured blood vessel is bleeding, and a cold compress can be applied to constrict the blood vessel and coagulate to control the progression of the injury. After 24 hours, the bleeding from the ruptured vessel stops, at which point a warm compress can be applied to help the bruising around the sprain dissipate.

3. Correctly press and knead the sprained part. In the early stage of sprain, it is better to do continuous pressing on the hematoma; After 24 hours, the kneading method is done, centering on the swollen area and rubbing in all directions around it.

Fourth, the appropriate implementation of activities. In the early stages of a sprain, swelling and pain gradually worsen, and the affected limb should be elevated. After the condition stabilizes, as long as it is not painful, you can gradually increase the activity of the foot and ankle.

5. Rational use of drugs. In the early stage of sprain, there is no need to take internal medicine, and it is not advisable to apply drugs that invigorate blood externally, so as not to have more blood flow and greater swelling. After 24 hours, take some Yunnan Baiyao, bone-setting pills, blood circulation and pain relief, and then apply Wuhu Dan externally, and after the swelling is reduced, there is no need to take internal and external medicines.

6. If the sprain hurts the bone, after the doctor puts a plaster cast, you must pay attention:

1. Within about a few minutes of putting on the cast, you can't move the affected foot casually. Because the gypsum has not yet hardened at this time, it is easy to deform.

2. Within the first 24 hours of applying the plaster, attention should be paid to the tightness of the plaster.

3. After the foot is put on the plaster, it is generally not suitable to walk on the ground.

4. In summer, the foot should be placed in a cool place to prevent excessive foot sweat and accumulation in the plaster.

5. In winter, when applying a plaster, pay attention to keeping the affected limb warm, and do not frostbite the foot outside the plaster.

6. If the pain worsens after the cast, you should ask a doctor for examination in time.

X-rays are taken to rule out fractures.

If there is no fracture, you can ask a TCM orthopedic doctor to treat it with blood circulation and blood stasis removal drugs.

I'm worried about your fifth metatarsal fracture, ankle misalignment, ankle collateral ligament strain. If you want to take an X-ray to confirm the diagnosis, **, you should be fast: appropriate osteopathic manual reduction, external application of traditional Chinese medicine, small splint fixation, no need to apply a plaster.

Be sure to take Chinese medicine internally and boil it yourself. Our patients are generally free to move in about 40 days. Chengdu Fuxiang Orthopedics.

Ankle sprains, most people have an indifferent attitude, thinking that "two days of care is fine", but in fact, it is not. Proper rest is needed, but not all, and patients who are not properly treated are 3 or 4 times more likely to re-injure their ankles than those who are transited.

For patients with primary injury in the acute stage, if the injury does not involve the ninja tissue, as long as they are conservative and abide by the principles of rest, ice, compression and bandaging, and elevation of the affected limb, they can achieve satisfactory curative effects. In the acute phase, cold compresses can be applied for 24 to 48 hours, every 10 to 20 minutes, once every 6 hours. Acute injury can be pressed on the Yangling Spring acupuncture points to relieve pain.

There is no good medicine or good way to treat ankle injuries in general hospitals, and at present, taking medicine for sprains is basically ineffective, it is recommended to apply plasters to maintain bone vitality, and then pay attention to the usual diet is not too spicy.

There are some injuries that occur from time to time in life, such as ankle sprains. At this time, many people will think of traditional Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, apply hot compresses, or rub the wound with their hands. However, this not only does not speed up**, but may cause more serious conditions such as swelling and ecchymosis of the wound.

In general, sports injuries are divided into acute, remission, and ** phases, and treatment should also be carried out in stages.

Acute growth period: Immediately apply a cold compress for 20 minutes.

The acute phase usually refers to the acute inflammatory reaction within 24 or 48 hours after the injury, when the injured tissue may bleed, and local symptoms such as red fever, swelling, pain, and dysfunction appear. The patient should stop moving, and choose treatment methods such as cold compress, compression bandaging, and elevation of the injured limb according to the situation. Generally, cold compress followed by pressure bandaging can also be done at the same time.

Cold compresses are generally 20 minutes each time, once every 4 hours; Discontinue use after 24 or 48 hours. When bandaging, you can place cotton or sponge of appropriate thickness on the wound, use a bandage to apply a little pressure, and pay attention to the condition of the bandaging site frequently. If the bandage is too loose or too tight, it should be redressed.

In general, it can be removed after 24 hours of pressurized bandaging.

If pain occurs after injury, external wound drugs such as Yunnan Baiyao (patent medicine) can be used to quickly reduce swelling and relieve pain and reduce acute inflammation. Those with severe pain can take painkillers such as Fenbide, and those with severe congestion can take bone-setting pills, Qilisan, etc. During this period, you should not apply warm compresses or massage the injured area, otherwise it will aggravate the bleeding and tissue fluid exudation, making the injured area more swollen.

Although the wound cannot be rubbed, it can be clicked on the surrounding parts along the meridian and acupoints, which is conducive to reducing swelling and relieving pain. For example, if your wrist is injured and swollen and painful, tap Quchi, Neiguan, and Hegu; If you have an ankle injury, tap the sea of blood and the three yin sex. It doesn't matter if the injured person or family members don't know the acupuncture points, as long as the position is roughly correct.

If the sprain is particularly painful, suspected of bone cracking, fracture, if the pressure is only mild pain, then it can be considered that the cartilage is damaged, cartilage damage and new fractures will appear local swelling, swelling and pain, if the joint can not bend normally, this is a ligament injury, ligament injury, ligament injury joint bending can not reach normal. Soft tissues (ligaments, cartilage, tendons) are damaged and difficult to repair on their own, and are generally difficult to detect on x-rays.

If the bone is damaged by taking an X-ray, the broken bone should first be actively healed, if the bone is confirmed to be not damaged under the X-ray, then the pain is caused by cartilage damage, it is recommended to choose traditional Chinese medicine, because Chinese medicine can help the injured tissue grow rapidly by using drugs, so that it can be very fast, if you can get a professional Chinese medicine for bone trauma, early fracture can generally be basic in about 30 to 40 days. Soft tissue injuries may take longer.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the sooner **, the better, and the longer the time is delayed**, the more troublesome it is. Before the first diet, avoid eating carp, rooster, sour bamboo shoots, beef and ginger, etc., which is based on experience. Western medicine should be used with caution, especially hormone-containing drugs, and the joints should not be moved too much to avoid aggravating the injury.

Hello, your situation has been understood, generally speaking, after a joint sprain, it is mainly the ligament injury at the joint, and the ankle ligament injury generally takes about 8 weeks to expect a full recovery.

I don't know if there is a local ** injury, generally speaking, it can be local hot compress, massage and other physiotherapy. Usually pay attention to avoid excessive weight on the ankle joint and too long a period of activity. Avoid long walks and strenuous activities.

If you really can't touch the hot water locally, you can use an incandescent lamp at home to irradiate the affected area, and the local temperature can be enough, and you can irradiate it twice a day for half an hour each time to promote recovery. You can wear an ankle brace for activity,** if possible, you can use a plaster or apply it with safflower oil.

This is the usual way to deal with ankle ligament injuries, and I wish you good health!

People with ankle sprains should avoid weight-bearing or prolonged walking (preferably limited walking) to better recover the damaged tissue.

It varies from person to person, I had a bad sprain the last time I played, and I was able to play after 3 weeks off, but I didn't dare to push too hard when I played.
