I used to sprain my ankle, but now it is a little swollen and painful to walk, how to treat it?

The ligament on the outside of the ankle joint is strained, which is what we usually call a broken foot; Ligament is the tissue that connects two bones, and the site of ligament strain will be swollen and bruised, and ligament strain is caused by external force that makes the joint move beyond the normal physiological range, resulting in ligament strain, partial rupture or complete rupture of the ligament around the joint, which is called joint ligament sprain.

After a sprained ligament, local swelling, pain, tenderness, and bruising may be seen with subcutaneous hemorrhage. It is very important to properly manage joint ligament sprains at an early stage. Because ligament tissue is not easily regenerated and recovered, if it is not treated properly or misdiagnosed, it may become a chronic disease, leaving functional impairment and prone to recurrence of sprains in the future.

Common symptoms of ligament injury are local swelling, pain, ecchymosis, and limited limb movement. **The pathogenesis is caused by external force, which damages the muscles, muscles and bones, resulting in obstruction of meridians and stagnation of qi and blood. After the injury, the injured part is bruised and swollen, the meridians are blocked, and the qi and blood are blocked.

It can be applied externally with traditional Chinese medicine Baohetang Shuluo ointment, which can relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, reduce swelling and relieve pain, invigorate blood and disperse stasis, dispel wind and cold, and conduct it to the meridians, muscles and bones through **, stimulate the body's regulatory function, quickly eliminate swelling and pain, promote functional recovery and quickly achieve the goal. **During the period, be sure to reduce your activities, mainly to rest and recuperate. If you don't know anything, you can contact me at any time I wish you a good morning**!

Sprains Fall Problems:

The fastest effective method: use Tian Qi to smash and then flush water or wine, one to two grams each time, within an hour after drinking, the bruise part is completely eliminated or partial.

Elimination, but the attack will continue after five hours, indicating that the medication is very effective, and if it is effective after the trial, it will give you the most effective ** method.

Because sometimes the joint can move, it does not mean that there is no fracture, whether the joint can move, whether the pain is severe is the criterion for diagnosing fracture, as shown below is a classic fracture image of an ankle avulsion injury. This fracture may cause slight subcutaneous** congestion, but it usually doesn't mean severe pain. When the ankle joint is just twisted, it just tears and damages the soft tissues.

Ice should be used immediately after injury. This causes the affected blood vessels to constrict, reducing bleeding, swelling, and pain. A few hours after the injury, or at a sufficient height, the traditional Chinese medicine method of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis should be used, and for people with soft tissue lesions, the traditional Chinese medicine of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis should be used immediately for fumigation**.

Apply oil to the other foot for 5 to 10 minutes. Go to a physical therapy shop or hospital and remove the collateral branches in the same location and at the site of the contralateral injury. After picking up the side branches, I delivered a millielectric strike at the time near the injured area.

Try not to leave for two days. Any damage to tendons, muscles, ligaments, or bones can lead to inflammation around the injured area, leading to swelling. This swelling may form bruises at the site of infection and may appear minutes or even hours after the injury.

This is one of the most common sports injuries.

After one or two urgent** steps, the pain will be greatly reduced. You can walk with your feet lifted and walk on the ladder**. Here's how:

The center of gravity is still on your feet, unscathed. Slowly apply the force to the injured foot, as well as cover the loose ground, then store the water, gently and quickly alternate moving the feet, and then turn the weight back to your foot without injury. An athlete and an inactive old lady often sprained their feet when they came downstairs.

Athletes can rest or take medicine as usual to move, in daily life, sports injuries are common, ** methods are different from CADA professors, including Western medicine ice compress and Chinese medicine hot compress. This is the best method of soaking wine with traditional Chinese medicine and invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis and relieving pain, and dispersing hot compresses. Readers who are very attentive to my article must have learned that the ankle joint can do plantar flexion and dorsiflexion, i.e., the toes of the toes of the toes, so these movements take place in this upper joint.

You should apply ice to the ankle, and then wait for the doctor's help, or ask the doctor to see some medicine, which can also be used to treat such a sprain.

First of all, you have to massage the painful area, and you must massage it frequently, you can use a cold towel to compress the injured part, you can also use ice to compress the injured part, and then go to the doctor in time, usually you must drink more bone broth, eat more bones, eat more meat, so as to promote bone healing.

You can use ice cubes to apply ice, pay attention to proper rest, eat more calcium-supplementing foods, or find a doctor to prescribe some drugs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

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.

1. Immediately brake the foot to reduce swelling and relieve pain and the spread of infection.

Check for fractures immediately after a sprain, and if not, brake the injury to avoid accelerated congestion and swelling. Then apply a towel or ice cube soaked in cold water to the sprained area, every three to four hours for 20 to 30 minutes, or use medicine**: raw gardenia and flour mixed with egg whites, wet compress the swollen area, compress and bandage, and change once a day.

Whether it is a drug** or a cold compress**, it can be used in the early stage of a sprain to relieve pain and inhibit and reduce swelling, and the operation method is relatively simple, and it is no longer used after two to three days of sprain. In particular, it should be noted that the color of the sprain should be often observed when applying cold compresses, if it turns purple and blue, and feels numb, it means venous blood stasis, and the cold compress must be stopped immediately, otherwise it will hinder the nutrition and oxygen, reduce the resistance of cells, and cause tissue necrosis in severe cases.

2. Improve blood circulation in the wound, reduce inflammation and swelling, and accelerate the removal of congestion.

After two to three days of wet or cold compress with the drug, the sprained vascular wound has coagulated, at this time, in order to promote blood circulation and stasis and prevent the formation of adhesions in the wound, the method of hot compress can be used**. Soak a towel in warm water at 40 to 50 degrees Celsius for a short time, and apply a hot compress to the sprained area (do not burn) for 15 to 20 minutes every 3 to 4 hours. During the hot compress, the use of internal Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, massage and other methods to cooperate**, especially during the massage period is extremely important.

However, the massage technique should be light to heavy, from the area around the injury to the local. The first few massages of the injured area must be light.

3. Soften or separate the adhesions that may form and promote the recovery of function of the sprained area.

When the swelling and tenderness of the wound have been eliminated, but the movement still feels slight pain, and the joint movement is weak, at this time, the muscle strength and joint activity function of the sprain can be exercised. The amount of exercise should be gradual, especially the first few exercises should not be too large.

At the same time as the functional exercise of the injured part, attention should also be paid to massage, hot compress and Chinese herbal fumigation to accelerate the effect of **.

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.

Clause. 2. For those with mild symptoms, cold water or cold towels can be applied and the affected limb can be 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.

Clause. 3. If the ankle sprain has been more than 24 hours, it should be switched to a warm compress**. 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.

This is simple, use cold water compress for the first two days to reduce swelling or prevent swelling, and then soak your feet in hot water, especially the affected area, to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling, and raise your feet every day when you are fine to help blood return and promote recovery.

What to do after a sprain:

Within 24 hours, cold compress or ice compress should be applied to facilitate vasoconstriction, reduce bleeding, and play a role in reducing swelling and relieving pain;

After 24 hours, you can apply a warm compress daily to help promote blood circulation and reduce edema.

Minor soft-tissue injuries usually heal spontaneously.

If it does not heal on its own within 2-3 weeks, it is necessary to take the drug aggressively, otherwise chronic inflammation will develop. Topical medicine recommends Guangxi Huang's bone-setting and activating wine, which has a good effect on promoting microcirculation, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and new sprains can generally be healed within a week, and the medicinal wine is also cheap. For chronic inflammation, it can also be thoroughly in about a month**.

Try cold compresses, don't use hot water.

Apply a hot towel first, then rub the medicated wine.

See your doctor and minimize your activities.
