    Now you can't rub safflower oil at this time, 1. You should apply a cold compress, not a hot compress, and you can't wash your feet with hot water.

    Because the capillaries were bleeding, if the hot compress further dilated his blood vessels, the hematoma became more severe, and the healing in the future was slow, so if he felt unbearable pain, he could use ice cubes to apply a cold compress.

    Safflower oil should not be applied for hours.

    When a capillary ruptures, applying safflower oil will increase blood flow and make the swelling worse. In the acute phase of the injury, that is, within 24 hours, if you use safflower oil to rub it, it will aggravate the blood exudation of the injured site and aggravate the swelling, so the use of safflower oil must be 24 hours after the injury, and it should not be used for patients with ulceration or allergies.

    3. Elevate the affected limb to facilitate blood circulation and eliminate swelling.

    4. After the swelling subsides, apply appropriate pressure and bandage with a bandage.

    After the swelling subsides, the ligaments relax, which may cause instability in the ankle joint, leading to frequent sprains in the future, resulting in traumatic arthritis.

    5. If the swelling does not disappear for 10 days, it should be actively grasped to prevent blood stasis from dissolving and forming adhesions, making the ankle joint stiff and stiff, and causing ossification around the joint for a long time.

    In short, don't take a small sprain lightly, and you should ** it as soon as possible to prevent future problems.

    Ankle sprains are the most common sports injuries and occur when the body loses its center of gravity, steps on someone else's foot when landing, or trips over the foot. In sprains, joint swelling, pain, and fractures may occur locally.

    1. During treatment, fix the ankle joint with an elastic bandage, apply ice cubes to the injured area, and fix the ice pack and ankle joint with a bandage.

    2. After a few minutes of fixation (about 3-5 minutes), the bandage can be removed first, at this time, the swelling of the injured part is not obvious, and the muscle spasm is also mild, so a simple examination can be carried out first.

    3. The purpose of the examination is mainly to determine whether there is a possibility of fracture or dislocation and the degree of ligament damage, so as to determine the next step.

    Fourth, the inspection method:

    1) Pay attention to the location of the pain and tender points, the degree of swelling, and whether the joints are deformed.

    2) Inversion and valgus test: the ankle joint is turned inward to check the degree of lateral ligament damage (whether the lateral range of motion of the ankle joint becomes larger or looser when the foot is varus). The ankle is then turned out to check for medial ligament damage.

    3) Front drawer test: Hold the upper end of the ankle with one hand and push it back, while holding the heel with the other hand and pulling it forward to check whether the range of motion has increased (compared with the uninjured side).

    4) If the sprain is only mild, ice can be continued and compression bandaging can be applied to elevate the affected limb. If the sprain is more severe, you should be sent to a doctor**.

    For the first two days after the injury, cold compresses and immobilization are used to avoid aggravating tissue injuries and to relieve pain. If the swelling is severe, the injured leg can be appropriately elevated to reduce local congestion and promote venous return. After two days, you can start applying a warm compress.

    Or use some ointments containing blood circulation and stasis dissolving ingredients (such as anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving creams). Tuina massage must be performed after 3 days if it is confirmed that there are no fractures.

Ankle sprain is one of the most common joint sprains in the whole body and is a very common clinical disease. Ankle sprains, especially varus injuries, often cause lateral collateral ligament strain, tear, or even rupture. When walking and sprinting fall on the foot or step on the air or fall from a height, the outer edge of the foot hits the ground, and the plantar is abruptly adducted, which can cause the lateral ankle ligament to be stretched and sprained, or even partially torn, and can also be combined with lateral malleolar avulsion fracture. >>>More
