What happens when my foot doesn t swell after a few days of twisting?

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.

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.

If it's not that serious, it's not swollen, so don't worry about taking a picture.

ICE (ice): lowers the temperature of the injured area, reduces inflammation and muscle spasms, relieves pain and inhibits swelling. 10-20 minutes each time, more than 3 times a day, be careful not to apply ice directly to the affected area, wrap ice cubes with a wet towel to avoid frostbite.

Ice should only be applied within 48 hours of injury.

Compression: An elastic bandage is used to wrap the injured ankle and apply proper pressure to reduce swelling. Be careful not to overcompress the limb with excessive pressure, as this will aggravate the swelling and ischemia of the distal limb at the place of the wrap.

What to do after an ankle sprain? It is common for some people to first rub the swollen area vigorously to break up the accumulated blood; This is followed by a hot towel to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling; In the end, I endured the pain and walked and moved. However, practice has proved that this is inappropriate, because after the rupture and bleeding of local small blood vessels, a hematoma will form, and it generally takes about 24 hours to recover and stop bleeding.

If you rub vigorously, apply hot compresses, or force movement immediately after a sprain, it will inevitably accelerate bleeding and oozing while dispersing a part of the blood stasis, and even aggravate the rupture of blood vessels, forming a larger hematoma. What is the correct self-care after an ankle sprain?

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, use hot and cold compresses correctly. 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.

It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine plasters to relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, reduce swelling and relieve pain, invigorate blood and disperse stasis, dispel wind and dispel cold, and have a strong nutritional repair function on the joint cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, and have strong local penetration.

The foot is not swollen but painful, it is recommended to apply an ice pack within 24 hours, and then after 24 hours, a hot compress can also be used under the guidance of a doctor to use some drugs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis**, you can also massage**.

It is normal for the swelling to return to a certain extent, and there is still some swelling.

Because the swelling is caused by a hematoma, the presence of a hematoma indicates injury.

Hematoma resorption to a certain extent will leave a portion of the organized tissue remaining.

Damaged tissues in turn need to be scarred against.

Organic tissue and scarring form a part that does not fade, or it takes a long time to soften and fade.

So if there is a little swelling, it doesn't mean that it hasn't recovered well. So don't be afraid. If the landlord still has some pain, he needs to reduce some activity, and the cause of the pain should have a certain relationship with the landlord's lack of rest and recuperation.

But don't worry, it will usually be relieved after reducing the amount of activity.
