    What happens after an ankle sprain? 1. After an ankle sprain, it is necessary to distinguish the severity of the injury. Generally speaking, if the pain in the ankle is not severe, it is mostly a soft tissue injury, and you can treat it yourself.

    If you have severe pain when you move your ankle, you can't stand or move, if you have pain in your bones, if you have a sound when you sprain, or if you have rapid swelling after an injury, it is a sign of a fracture and you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

    2. After an ankle sprain, use hot and cold compresses correctly. Hot and cold compresses are both physical**, but they have very different effects. Blood is alive when it is hot, and it coagulates when it is cold, so it is advisable to apply cold compresses in the early stage of injury to reduce local hematoma; Applying a warm compress after the bleeding has stopped will speed up the dissipation of bruising around the wound.

    In general, warm compresses are applied 24 hours after the injury.

    3. Medication after ankle sprain**. Safflower oil, Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, etc. can ** or alleviate bruises.

    4. Local massage after ankle sprain. Before applying the medicine, rub the injured foot, and gently rub the injured area with the thumbs of both hands, and the direction of rubbing is from the foot to the calf, which can not only relieve pain but also reduce swelling.

    A cold compress can be applied within 24 hours of a foot sprain to reduce the movement of the ankle on the injured side, avoid chronic injury and re-sprain, and further aggravate the injury. Moreover, if you continue to move, the tissue exudate will only worsen the edema, so that the injured joint will become thicker and weaker after healing, and it will not be able to return to the pre-injury state.

    You can use Yunnan Baiyao spray or Qizheng patch and other bruise drugs for external use, which can relieve pain and reduce swelling. Then there is the hot compress, which elevates the affected limb when it is okay to help blood return and reduce edema. It is best not to use an elastic bandage, as this will not affect blood circulation, as long as the ankle on the affected side is reduced.

    In the end, it takes time to recover from a chronic injury like this. Be a little patient, it won't heal in a few days, it will take more than 1 or 2 weeks. So don't be in a hurry to try to push hard, if you want to hurry, you won't be able to reach it.

    Foot sprains are the most common motor injuries and have been experienced by almost everyone. Foot sprain can cause damage to muscles, tendons, and fractures, most often occur in the ankle, dorsum of the foot and other parts, severe injuries can cause ankle fractures, ankle fractures can be divided into medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, posterior malleolar fractures. When a sprain occurs in the foot, the movement should be stopped immediately and the massage should not be carried out at will, if the deformity is severe, simple fixation should be carried out, and analgesics can be taken if the pain is severe, but the reduction of pain should not be a reason not to seek medical attention.

    When an injury occurs, the affected limb can be elevated appropriately to reduce swelling or cold compressed to reduce pain. In addition to very slight sprains, generally should go to the hospital for treatment, mainly to exclude fractures and other serious conditions, in order to restore normal function, some serious fractures need surgery**, the most common method is steel plate internal fixation and steel needle, wire internal fixation, and some external fixation methods are often used for ** displacement or good repair of fractures, the main methods are plaster and splints. In the later stage, the patient should still minimize the weight-bearing of the affected limb, at this time it is still possible to sprain again because the injured tendon has not fully recovered, but after removing the external fixation, appropriate functional exercises should be carried out, mainly for the non-weight-bearing exercise of the foot joints, such exercises should be gradual, gradually increase the amount of exercise and range of motion, to ensure that the affected limb has a good **.

    **In the process, patients can take some traditional Chinese medicine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers that loosen muscles and invigorate blood, and diet, due to the reduction of exercise, they should eat more easily digestible food, pay attention to the dietary structure, and speed up the recovery of injury.

    It is common for children to be active and accidentally step into the air, turn their feet inward, and sprain. After a sprain, the lateral malleolus may be swollen and the skin may be blue.

    After the injury, a cold compress can be applied to reduce the swelling.

    Keep your child in bed and don't move on the ground. The foot should be raised and padded with a cotton pad so that the injured foot is higher than the heart. If your feet droop, it will worsen the swelling.

    You can ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, apply medicine externally and take Qili San, bone-setting pills, etc. internally.

    If there is no fracture but only a partial torn ligament, gently rub the wound to the calf with your fingers.

    If the ligament is torn severely or completely ruptured, or if there is a fracture, it should be immobilized for 1 month.

    Children who have had a sprained foot should be careful not to sprain again.

The ligaments of the wrist and ankle are like two leather bands attached to the joint, so that if the ligament is strained and not healed or repeated in a short period of time, the elasticity of the ligament on one side will decrease, so that the strength of the two sides will be unbalanced, and it will be easier to sprain during exercise, and the elasticity of the ligament will decrease after the sprain, and the consequence of the decline in ligament elasticity is that it is easier to sprain, so that a vicious circle will be formed. Therefore, I recommend that the owner stop training and wear an elastic bandage (available at the hospital) or an ankle brace (available at sporting goods stores) on the ankle, and take external and internal medication to cure it completely. If you can't exercise vigorously and be careful of spraining again within three months, you can also cooperate with acupuncture** and soak your feet in hot water to speed up blood circulation. >>>More
