    If you have just sprained, stop exercising, elevate the sprain, apply ice, and if there is no ice, cold water can also do it, mainly to reduce local exudation. After 48 hours of sprain, you can use external blood-activating and stasis medicines, such as plasters, safflower oil, etc., with warm water soaking, and you can also find a massage doctor if conditions permit. What needs to be added is that when using safflower oil, it is necessary to rub the affected area repeatedly with safflower oil until it is slightly warm, and strive to penetrate into it to speed up the recovery.

    If possible, use a muscle patch. ‍‍

    A sprain of the foot is commonly known as a "broken foot", and medically it is called an ankle sprain. People go up and down stairs, take buses, hike mountain tours, play basketball, kick 3 balls in daily life, and accidentally step on the air or collide with stones and tree stumps, which can easily lead to foot sprains. Many people have an indifferent attitude towards a sprained foot, thinking that "it will be fine after a few days".

    Although patients with milder sprains can recuperate for a few days. However, the vast majority of patients with acute foot sprain must have a severity of more than moderate severity, and some of the worst cases will cause ankle dislocations, fractures, and even toe fractures.

    Attention should be paid during the acute injury phase in patients with foot sprains.

    1) After the injury, the following actions must be done: rest, ice (24 to 48 hours), compression, and elevation of the foot to reduce bleeding and swelling and increase the speed of healing.

    2) Protect and immobilize the ankle joint for one to three weeks.

    3) After three weeks, the joints gradually move.

    4) Normal activities can be resumed after about four to eight weeks.

    Traditional Chinese medicine external application for foot sprains.

    Panax notoginseng blood ointment uses the principle of human meridian conduction to make the drug quickly reach the sprain site, which can open up the blood veins, promote blood circulation, and repair damaged joints and soft tissues in a short time; At the same time, it can also enhance the vitality of muscle cells, improve the physiological defense ability of the body, and treat both the symptoms and the root cause, so as to achieve the purpose of completely spraining the foot.

    Matters that should be paid attention to when bruises, sprains, and falls: 1. Don't twist casually When people sprain their limbs, they often turn or massage involuntarily, but many times casual twisting will aggravate the symptoms of the injured part, especially before the exact diagnosis, and the sprained part should not be moved casually. If it's a limb, raise your wrist so that your blood can flow smoothly.

    The correct approach is this: if you have an upper arm fracture, it is best to put your arm at the level of your heart, and if you have a lower limb, you need to raise your leg above knee level. 2. Can't apply hot compresses, but cold compresses Many of us will take a hot towel and apply it to the painful part after a fall and sprain, feeling that it will be more comfortable, but this practice is not right, because the capillary bleeding, and the hot compress makes his blood vessels further dilate, the hematoma will be more severe, and the future healing will be slow, if he is a fracture, then he can't apply a hot compress.

    Cold compresses can control capillary bleeding. Therefore, it is also important to apply a warm compress to the injured area, and if you feel that the pain is unbearable, you can use ice cubes to apply a cold compress. 3. Apply safflower oil After the capillaries are ruptured, applying safflower oil will speed up its 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. 4. Sticking bruising ointment Bone-setting ointment can allow the drug to penetrate quickly through the human body, produce blood and qi, and relax tendons and disperse knots. However, if a fracture has already occurred in the sprain, applying a plaster will only temporarily relieve the superficial symptoms, and the fractured area will not grow well, and it is easy to misalign and eventually cause bone deformity.

    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**.

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.
