Ask you for help with a sprained foot How to recover quickly

Within 24 hours of spraining, cold compress is used to constrict blood vessels, reduce swelling and relieve pain. Apply an ice pack or cold washcloth to the affected area for 15 minutes every 6 hours.

After 24 hours, a warm compress is applied to promote local blood circulation, accelerate the dissipation of blood stasis around the wound, and reduce pain.

As soon as the injury occurs, do not apply plasters. It will have to wait 24 hours. This is because human tissues are inflammatory when they are damaged by external forces.

A large amount of fluid leaks from the blood vessels into the sprain.

Swelling occurs slowly in the area.

This then compresses the nerve and causes pain. This reaction is in.

The peak can be reached within 24 hours.

If you apply a moist analgesic cream during this period.

Its blood-invigorating effect accelerates local blood circulation.

There is also an increase in fluid leaking from the blood vessels.

Local swelling and pain can also worsen.

Because the plaster has the effect of invigorating blood and dissipating blood stasis, the plaster after injury cannot achieve the purpose of reducing swelling and relieving pain. Take drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Yunnan Baiyao. Elevate the injured leg as much as possible to promote blood circulation.

1. Immediate immobilization, swelling and pain relief and infection spread.

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 **.

1. First judge the severity of the injury and decide whether you can deal with it yourself or need to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

2. If you can stand after a sprained foot and can barely walk without severe pain, it means that the sprain is mild and can be disposed of by yourself.

3. If there is severe pain in foot activity after a sprained foot, you can't stand or move with weight, and it gradually swells up, it means that you may sprain the bone, and you should go to the hospital immediately for diagnosis and treatment, and do not twist it on your own to aggravate the condition.

4. Once the foot is sprained, be sure to use hot and cold compresses correctly, otherwise, the wrong treatment method will aggravate the pain of the injured. Many people think that the first reaction to a sprain is to apply bruise oil or take bruise medicine, but this is actually a wrong approach.

5. In the early stage of sprain, the small blood vessels ruptured by the sprain of the foot are bleeding, at this time, cold compresses should be used to make the blood vessels constrict and coagulate, control the development of the injury, if the hot compress is used, it will aggravate the congestion of the injured part, aggravate the swelling and pain.

6. After 24 hours, the bleeding of the ruptured and damaged blood vessels stops, and then hot compresses can be used, which can activate blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis, accelerate the dissipation of congestion around the wound, and reduce swelling and pain.

7. In the early stage of sprain, it is not advisable to immediately apply bruise oil or take bruise medicine, but after 24 hours, these measures can be used.

8. Correctly press and rub the sprained part. After 24 hours of sprain, do massage and kneading, take the swollen area as the center, and rub it in all directions with the tincture of blood-invigorating and swelling medicine to the surrounding directions, pay attention to the strength, and do not cause secondary injury due to excessive force.

9. In the early stage of sprain, after the trauma, the foot is congested, after the injury, if you do not exercise modestly, the self-repair ability of the tissue will decline, and it will be slow. After the condition stabilizes, you can gradually increase the activity of the foot and ankle. Functional exercises can be done 3 weeks after the sprain.

It is best to do joint exercises on your own. Ossifying myositis is predisposed to occur by massage, as calcium is deposited in the soft tissues. Your own strength is more beneficial.

If the ligament injury is severe, start doing some exercise after a month and a half of rest, and you can trot after 3 months.

Sometimes we accidentally sprain our foot, which affects our movement very much, so let's talk about what to do if we sprain our foot.

01 If our foot is sprained, if possible, it is best to use an ice pack to apply ice to the place where we are twisted.

02 Then it is best to go to the pharmacy to buy some sprays to reduce swelling, such as external Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, or other brands of sprays, I personally think that Yunnan Baiyao sprays are not bad.

03 At night, it is best to soak our feet in hot water or take a hot towel to warm the compress, which is conducive to promoting blood circulation and helping to recover.

04 At the same time, try to minimize strenuous exercise, avoid being too tired and do not put the focus on the feet, otherwise it is easy to lead to secondary injury, so that the recovery time is longer.

For ankle sprains, proper rest is required, and patients who have not done it properly are 3 to 4 times more likely to re-injure their ankles than those who have passed through them. For patients with primary injury in the acute stage, if the injury does not involve ligament tissue, as long as they are conservative and abide by the principles of rest, ice, compression bandaging, and elevation of the affected limb, they can obtain satisfactory results. Massage is not possible in the acute phase.

For acute injury, you can press the Yanglingquan acupuncture point to reduce the pain. Ankle joint injury involves the ligament, if the ligament is completely ruptured surgery**, the ligament part of the tear of the general Western medicine has no good medicine, good way**, it is best to use folk Chinese medicine osteopathy external application**, it can promote the local tissue exudate as soon as possible absorption, rapid pain relief, eliminate swelling. After the swelling has subsided, the ankle can be immobilized with tape or bandage for 1 week.

Prevent ligament relaxation, make sprain fully recovered, and effectively prevent the occurrence of sequelae.

Hello, sprains should be taken cold within 24 hours, and after 24 hours, they should be taken hot and rubbed with blood circulation and blood stasis. Try to be as little active as possible during the acute phase. Good luck with you**.
