I sprained my foot while playing basketball at school, how long do I need to rest?

Ankle sprains are common when a running fall causes a sprain, and severe pain occurs in the ankle. Ankle sprains can be caused by uneven floors and ill-fitting sneakers, which usually require a long recovery period. If the ankle can be treated correctly and in a timely manner after a sprain, the severity of the injury can be greatly improved and the recovery period can be shortened.

How to deal with a sprain? After a sprain, you should immediately rest and stop exercising, and apply ice to the ankle for 10-15 minutes, and ice should be applied every 2-3 hours in the early stage to effectively prevent the occurrence of swelling.

If a foot sprain occurs during the course of playing, it will cause significant bruising, swelling, and pain in the foot, and it will lead to some obstacles in foot flexion and extension and weight-bearing activities. Therefore, after this situation occurs, the first is to avoid the activity of bearing weight on the foot, so as not to cause the sprained tissue to be stressed after the activity, resulting in aggravation of the injury. In this case, you can soak your feet in cold water, or apply ice cubes and cold towels to cool your feet to relieve pain and avoid the aggravation of bruising and swelling.

After a foot sprain, a bandage can be applied to compress and fix the foot to prevent the swelling from worsening. After 24 hours of sprain, external application and oral administration of blood stasis and blood stasis removal drugs can be used to promote the resolution of local swelling, thereby promoting the repair of sprained tissues. And after the foot sprain, it is necessary to rest in bed more, and the affected limb should be elevated when lying in bed to facilitate venous return, swelling absorption and subsidence, so as to promote the recovery of foot sprain.

After playing basketball, I twisted my ankle and had to stop exercising immediately. People sit down, take off their shoes and socks, and simply check for sprains. If the injury is not serious, you can apply a cold compress yourself; If the sprain is severe, go to a nearby hospital as soon as possible for a check-up**.

The first symptoms after an ankle sprain are swelling and pain. We need to take off our shoes and socks as soon as possible and briefly check the severity of the sprain. If the condition is mild, immediately rinse your ankle with ice or cold water for a few minutes to avoid severe swelling and congestion, and then continue the cold compress with an ice towel or ice cube.

At this time, even if the ankle can walk, it is not recommended to continue walking. If you go reluctantly, you will get worse and become more dangerous. If the ankle sprain is severe, the swelling is severe or the ankle fracture is suspected, go to a nearby hospital as soon as possible for an X-ray examination and perform according to the injury**.

It should be noted that repeated sprains can easily weaken the lateral ligaments of the foot, which can easily cause habitual sprains of the foot, which is more troublesome to recover. 48 72 hours after the injury, you can soak your feet in warm water for 20 to 30 minutes to speed up blood circulation, and you can also speed up the recovery of the injured area with massage and heat therapy. After a few days, don't do strenuous exercise right away, even if the injured area is not very painful.
