Is there any way to get better quickly if you have a sprained foot?

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.

Apply ice cubes for 24 hours, and blanch with hot water (appropriate hot water) after 24 hoursYou can also go to the pharmacy and talk to the boss about your situation and buy some medicines**. Generally, if you have a sprained foot, it will be difficult to recover for a few months if it is severe, but it will be completely recovered in about 2 months if it is light.

There are some injuries that occur from time to time in life, such as ankle sprains. At this time, many people will think of traditional Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, apply hot compresses, or rub the wound with their hands. However, this not only does not speed up**, but may cause more serious conditions such as swelling and ecchymosis of the wound.

In general, sports injuries are divided into acute, remission, and ** phases, and treatment should also be carried out in stages.

Acute growth period: Immediately apply a cold compress for 20 minutes.

The acute phase usually refers to the acute inflammatory reaction within 24 or 48 hours after the injury, when the injured tissue may bleed, and local symptoms such as red fever, swelling, pain, and dysfunction appear. The patient should stop moving, and choose treatment methods such as cold compress, compression bandaging, and elevation of the injured limb according to the situation. Generally, cold compress followed by pressure bandaging can also be done at the same time.

Cold compresses are generally 20 minutes each time, once every 4 hours; Discontinue use after 24 or 48 hours. When bandaging, you can place cotton or sponge of appropriate thickness on the wound, use a bandage to apply a little pressure, and pay attention to the condition of the bandaging site frequently. If the bandage is too loose or too tight, it should be redressed.

In general, it can be removed after 24 hours of pressurized bandaging.

If pain occurs after injury, external wound drugs such as Yunnan Baiyao (patent medicine) can be used to quickly reduce swelling and relieve pain and reduce acute inflammation. Those with severe pain can take painkillers such as Fenbide, and those with severe congestion can take bone-setting pills, Qilisan, etc. During this period, you should not apply warm compresses or massage the injured area, otherwise it will aggravate the bleeding and tissue fluid exudation, making the injured area more swollen.

Although the wound cannot be rubbed, it can be clicked on the surrounding parts along the meridian and acupoints, which is conducive to reducing swelling and relieving pain. For example, if your wrist is injured and swollen and painful, tap Quchi, Neiguan, and Hegu; If you have an ankle injury, tap the sea of blood and the three yin sex. It doesn't matter if the injured person or family members don't know the acupuncture points, as long as the position is roughly correct.

First of all, after the injury, avoid continuing to bear weight or walk, and do not rub the wound by a companion.

The affected ankle can be bandaged and fixed in a mild valgus position after 90 years of dorsal extension of the foot and ankle can be bandaged or fixed with a bandage, and the walking can be restricted, and the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment.

For mild symptoms, cold water or a cold washcloth can be applied and the affected limb elevated immediately after the injury. At this time, the cold compress can constrict the blood vessels, reduce local congestion, reduce tissue temperature, and play the role of hemostasis, swelling and analgesia. Therefore, after an acute sprain, a local cold compress should be applied as soon as possible.

Elevating the affected limb can speed up the return of blood and lymph fluid, so that blood stasis will not accumulate in the blood vessel injury.

Cold compress method: Put a towel soaked in cold water on the wound and change it every 3 minutes or so, or you can put ice cubes in a plastic bag for external compression, 20 to 30 minutes each time. In summer, you can use tap water to rinse, and the rinsing time is generally about 4 to 5 minutes, not too long.

If the ankle sprain has been more than 24 hours, a warm compress should be used instead**. At this time, warm compresses can improve blood and lymphatic circulation, which is conducive to the absorption of bruising and exudate from the wound.

Hot compress method: Put a towel soaked in hot water or hot vinegar on the injured area, and replace the towel after 5 to 10 minutes when there is no heat. Apply 1 2 times a day for about 30 minutes each time.

After the sprain of the joint, it should be treated in time, the principle is to immobilize and reduce swelling and stasis, so that the damaged tissue can be well repaired. Experts still recommend external application to maintain bone vitality, and it is still very professional for sprains.

As long as it is determined that it is just a sprain, as long as the cold compress is added to the external use of blood stasis, swelling and pain-relieving drugs such as Nanyang Litong musk pain aerosol with **, two to three times a day, generally about three days, there will be no big problem, this medicine can achieve the effect of pain relief in about 10 minutes after spraying, and it is a non-toxic pure Chinese medicine, and pharmacies are selling family standing medicines.

All joints are rich in soft tissues, cartilage and ligaments, when the joint is severely sprained or fractured, the soft tissues inside are easily injured, cartilage damage after the general soreness, swelling, weakness and other symptoms, but the pain is not very obvious, you need to move for a long time or move to a certain angle, you will feel the pain. After ligament injury, it will affect the normal bending of the joint, there is a stiff pulling feeling in the early stage, the regeneration of soft tissue injury is weak, and the self-repair is slow, and the early symptom is not obtained, which is generally difficult, because in bone trauma, soft tissue injury is more difficult to treat than fracture, and it is more difficult to treat if it is delayed for a long time.

If your problem is only a slight sprain, then you can rest for 10 days after resting, but if you still have pain or other uncomfortable symptoms after resting for a period of time, then you should consider that it is a soft tissue injury, soft tissue injury needs to be as soon as possible, otherwise it will be more troublesome after a long delay, and the soft tissue injury within a month is generally symptomatic with traditional Chinese medicine, which is about 40 days.

Before there is no **, rest more and move less.

Hu's Orthopedics wishes you a speedy **!

First. It is necessary to distinguish the severity of the injury. Generally speaking, if the pain is not severe when you move your ankle, most of it is a soft tissue injury, and you can treat it yourself.

If you have severe pain when you move your ankle, you cannot stand or move, if you have pain in your bones, if you have a sound when you sprain or if you have rapid swelling after an injury, it is a sign of a fracture and you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Second. Correct use of hot and cold compresses. Hot and cold compresses are both physical**, but they have very different effects.

Blood is alive when it is hot, and it coagulates when it is cold, so it is advisable to apply cold compresses in the early stage of injury to reduce local hematoma; Applying a warm compress after the bleeding has stopped will speed up the dissipation of bruising around the wound. In general, warm compresses are applied 24 hours after the injury.

Third. Drugs**. The formula is: 30 grams of hibiscus leaves, 10 grams of red adzuki beans, 3 grams of miscanthus powder, ground into fine powder, add honey or white wine to make a paste, apply it to the affected area, and change it once every 2-3 days. You can also take bruise medicine internally.

Clause. 4. Local massage. Before applying the medicine, you can press and rub the injured foot, and gently rub the injured area with the thumbs of both hands, and the direction of rubbing is from the foot to the calf, which can not only relieve pain but also reduce swelling.
