    Pat ** first to see the bones.

    If the bones are fine, it's a ligament problem, and you need to take an MRI to see the situation.

    Just a sprained ligament or a minor tear can recover on its own after a period of rest, and if the tear is severe or even ruptured, then it will be repaired surgically.

    Now the swelling and purple are due to bruising and edema, which is normal.

    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.

    First, 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.

    Second, 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.

    Third, correctly press and rub 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.

    What to do after an ankle sprain? It is common for some people to first rub the swollen area vigorously to break up the accumulated blood; This is followed by a hot towel to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling; In the end, I endured the pain and walked and moved. However, practice has proved that this is inappropriate, because after the rupture and bleeding of local small blood vessels, a hematoma will form, and it generally takes about 24 hours to recover and stop bleeding.

    If you rub vigorously, apply hot compresses, or force movement immediately after a sprain, it will inevitably accelerate bleeding and oozing while dispersing a part of the blood stasis, and even aggravate the rupture of blood vessels, forming a larger hematoma. What is the correct self-care after an ankle sprain? Clause.

    First, it is necessary to distinguish the severity of the injury. Generally speaking, if the pain is not severe when you move your ankle, most of it is a soft tissue injury, and you can treat it yourself. If you have severe pain when you move your ankle, you cannot 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.

    Clause. 2. 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. Clause.

    3. Drugs**. The formula is: 30 grams of hibiscus leaves, 10 grams of red adzuki beans, 3 grams of miscanthus powder, ground into fine powder, add honey or white wine to make a paste, apply it to the affected area, and change it once every 2-3 days. You can also take bruise medicine internally. Clause.

    4. Local massage. Before applying the medicine, you can press and 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.

    I've twisted it before, and it's very serious. I almost broke my bones. There was a lot of bruising in it.

    You'd better go to the hospital first to check if you have broken your bones. If not, go cupping. Plus Yunnan Baiyao conditioning.

    Every day at home, don't eat spicy food, don't go to too hot places. If it is swollen, it is still good and slow, and the injury will move for 100 days. I'm okay and I'll be able to play sports in the next 3 months.

    I hope you have peace of mind.

    Broken foot is a thing that people often encounter in life, and it is called "foot and ankle sprain" in medicine. This type of trauma is an injury in which the ankle is pulled and torn by an external force that excesses the foot and ankle beyond its maximum range of motion, causing pain, swelling and limping.

    1. Generally speaking, if you don't have severe pain when you move your ankle, you can barely stand and walk reluctantly; If the pain is not on the bones but on the muscles, most of the pain is a sprain, so you can deal with it yourself. If you have severe pain when you move your ankle, you can't stand and move with weight, the pain is on the bone, or you feel the sound in your foot when you sprain, and the swelling occurs quickly after the injury, especially if the tender point is on the high protruding bone in the middle of the lateral malleolus or outer foot surface, it is a sign of serious injury and you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately. If you can't go to the hospital for a while, you can also temporarily dispose of it according to the following methods, and then go to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible**.

    2. Use hot and cold compresses correctly. Hot and cold compresses are both physical**, but they have very different effects. Blood is hot and alive, and cold is coagulated.

    Therefore, cold compresses should be applied when the ruptured blood vessel is still bleeding to control the progression of the injury. Wait until the bleeding has stopped before applying a warm compress to dissipate the bruising around the wound.

    How do you know if the bleeding has stopped? In principle, it is 24 hours after the injury, and the following points can also be referred to: first, the pain and swelling tend to stabilize and no longer continue to aggravate; Second, there is little difference in the feeling of swelling when raising and lowering the affected foot; Third, the temperature of the wound ** has changed from slightly higher than the normal part to quite similar, which can be used as the basis for the cessation of bleeding.

    3. Appropriate activities. As swelling and pain progress after an injury, do not stand or walk around with your weight supported, and it is best to elevate the affected limb to limit any movement. When the condition is stable, the affected limb can be elevated for active movement of the foot and ankle, but activities in the direction that can cause severe pain should not be done.

    Wait until the swelling and pain gradually subside, and then walk around the ground, preferably for a short period of time, and gradually increase as you get used to it.

    4. Correct kneading. Before the bleeding stops, it is advisable to do continuous rubbing on the hematoma, by pressing the thenar area with the palm of the hand, and the pressure is still tolerable despite the pain. The time is to continue to press for 2 to 3 minutes, then release slowly, stop for a moment and repeat the operation.

    Every 5 repetitions is a phase, and it is more appropriate to do 3 to 4 phases a day. After the bleeding stops, knead the area, apply a certain amount of pressure to the area with the thenar or thumb and fingertips, and knead in the direction of the obvious swelling in the center, centrifugally in all directions around it, for 2 3 minutes each time, 3 5 times a day.

    5. Rational use of drugs. Before the bleeding stops, it is not advisable to take the blood-invigorating drug internally or externally, and you can spray the wound with "good too fast" to take the Yunnan blood medicine internally. After the bleeding stops, it is advisable to apply Wuhu Dan externally, and take bone-setting pills internally, invigorating blood and relieving pain, etc.

    In the later stage, it can be fumigated with Chinese herbs. If you don't have Chinese patent medicine at hand, you can also fry the flour and apply it to the affected area with rice vinegar to replace the Five Tiger Pills, and the effect is also ideal. It is also good to use a pinch of Sichuan pepper and a small handful of salt boiled water to fumigate, instead of Chinese herbal medicine.

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
