    In daily life, it is common for the foot to be sprained due to careless walking, what should I do about it?

    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.

If there is a large amount of hemarthrosis, it should be withdrawn in time under aseptic technique to avoid intra-articular adhesions after sequea.

    (1) Pay attention to the location of pain and tenderness points, the degree of swelling, and whether the joints are deformed.

    2) Inversion and valgus test: the ankle joint is turned inward to check the degree of lateral ligament damage (whether the lateral range of motion of the ankle joint becomes larger or looser when the foot is varus). The ankle is then turned out to check for medial ligament damage.

    3) Front drawer test: Hold the upper end of the ankle with one hand and push it back, while holding the heel with the other hand and pulling it forward to check whether the range of motion has increased (compared with the uninjured side).
