What happened if you sprained your leg for four years and still haven t gotten better?

It is most likely due to improper early handling.

It is very important to properly manage joint ligament sprains at an early stage. Because ligament tissue is not easily regenerated and recovered, if it is not treated properly or misdiagnosed, it may become a chronic disease, leaving functional impairment and prone to recurrence of sprains in the future.

It is recommended that you do an MRI as soon as possible to see if there are many important structures in the joint, such as the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, medial and medial collateral ligaments, and meniscus injuries, and joint sprains, which have not recovered for 4 years, means that the patient has had traumatic arthritis during this period, so the symptoms are always not good. The basic reason is that when the foot is just sprained, it is not paid great attention to procrastinate the disease, and the ligaments do not have a completely good healing environment, so the joint instability gradually accumulates, forming the occurrence of traumatic arthritis. What to do at this time, according to the physical examination, it is necessary to determine what the cause is, whether it is due to arthritic causes or because of muscle imbalance.

Therefore, MRI is done to determine the degree of cartilage degeneration and the degree of bony joints, and physical examination is done to determine the balance of ligaments and the degree of instability of joints. If the simple ligament instability leads to a sprain of the foot, it is not good to reconstruct the ligament, such as osteoarthritis, in severe cases, it can be treated differently, if the condition is good, you can choose the ankle joint, ankle artificial prosthesis replacement or ankle joint fusion. If there is a simple cartilage injury, arthroscopy can finally be performed to see if there is a possibility of grafted cartilage repair that can be treated differently, according to the specific condition**.

Surgery is now undergoing ** and it is not always possible to return to normal levels. Because most of the knee sprains will lead to ligament or meniscus damage in the knee joint, and there is no active ** or always painful situation in the course of four years, it means that the knee joint stability is not good at the same time as these tissue injuries, and there is a certain meniscus wear. If the wear and tear is not particularly severe, the pain may basically disappear after the surgery, but there will also be some sequelae that cannot be solved by surgery.

For example, if there is knee osteohyperplasia and osteoarthritis in advance, if the injury itself is particularly serious a year ago, but now through surgery**, it may only relieve most of the painful symptoms, and cannot completely make the painful symptoms disappear completely, because the time is too long, and there is no way to reverse the degeneration and injury of some meniscus.

If the sprained leg joint is not good for four years, you can go to the hospital for a check-up, and under normal circumstances, the joint should be fine after four years.

The mentioned site is a lesion of the Achilles tendon. At present, it is theoretically possible to improve purely from the analysis of your disease course. If not, you need to further check the MRI or something, and make sure that the lesions of the relevant soft tissues or anything are not improving.

Suggestions: At present, you can use a little blood-activating Chinese medicine or something to improve it. This will improve to a certain extent.

Check out your local orthopedic department. Your condition is generally after the ligament is damaged, and you usually do not pay attention to maintenance, which is easy to cause frequent ** and painful symptoms.

Advice: It is recommended that you can take ibuprofen and vitamin C** to see, usually use more hot compresses, and pay attention to avoid strenuous exercise can help.

Arthritis generally refers to joint diseases that occur in one or more joints of the human body, with swelling and tenderness as the main manifestations, intra-articular inflammation, cartilage or bony degeneration. In layman's terms, "arthritis" is not a single disease; It is an informal term for joint pain, or arthropathy. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis and related diseases.

The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gouty arthritis.

Arthritis can cause permanent joint changes. These lesions can be detected by imaging. Some types of arthritis can also affect the heart, kidneys, and more.

The focus of arthritis is first of all to be effective against the underlying disease, and secondly, to alleviate symptoms and improve joint function. It is often necessary to try several different ** or ** combinations.

Medications**:** Medications vary depending on the type of arthritis.

Physical**: Helpful for some types of arthritis. Exercise improves the range of motion of the joints and strengthens the muscles around the joints. In some patients, a splint or brace is also required.

Surgery: If conservatively** doesn't work, your doctor may recommend surgery.

After the injury, the body's immunity decreases, and it is easy to be attacked by wind and cold, forming stubborn diseases such as rheumatism.

1. The MRI report may not be accurate, and some structural injuries may not be rewarded, such as cartilage damage.

2. In this case, you need to go to the hospital again for re-examination, the treatment is definitely curable, there are many good ways to treat knee joint diseases, it is recommended that you go to a hospital with sports medicine as soon as possible.

Good luck soon**.
