I accidentally sprained my foot on the way to work, and when I came home, I found it red and swollen

1.Protect the injured part and stop the exercise immediately so that the injured ankle can rest and prevent a second sprain of the ankle.

2.Apply a cold compress to the injured area for 20 to 30 minutes, repeating the cold compress every hour. If the sprain is severe, ice treatment should be continued for 24 hours, but frostbite should be prevented.

Cold compresses can constrict blood vessels, reduce internal bleeding, and relieve pain. Today's refrigeration aerosols are much more convenient and effective than ice cubes. Small cans of refrigerated aerosol are available at regular sports equipment stores, so it's a good idea to keep a bottle with your sports equipment purchase.

If you don't bring ice or freezer, ice water or ice cream is fine, or just rinse in cold water for 15 to 20 minutes until you feel the cool air soak into your bones.

3.Wrap an ankle brace or bandage around the sprained area to apply braking and reduce movement.

4.If possible, elevate the affected limb as much as possible to allow local blood to return in time and reduce bruising.

The ligament on the outside of the ankle joint is strained, which is what we usually call a broken foot; Ligament is the tissue that connects two bones, the part of the ligament strain will be swollen and bruised, the ligament strain is due to the external force that makes the joint move beyond the normal physiological range, resulting in the ligament around the joint strain, partial or complete rupture, this is called joint ligament sprain. During the injury, the soft tissue in the ankle joint is squeezed and impacted, resulting in cartilage surface injury, synovial swelling, swelling and congestion around the ankle joint. If it is not done correctly in time**, the lateral support of the ankle joint will be weakened and the proprioception of the joint will be reduced.

In this way, the instability of the ankle joint will be aggravated, and the ankle joint will easily sprain again, and chronic symptoms such as pain, swelling, and unsteady walking will appear, and other joint injuries will occur, and there will be a chain reaction. Common symptoms of ligament injury are local swelling, pain, ecchymosis, and limited limb movement. **The pathogenesis is caused by external force, which damages the muscles, muscles and bones, resulting in obstruction of meridians and stagnation of qi and blood.

After the injury, the injured part is bruised and swollen, the meridians are blocked, and the qi and blood are blocked, which is due to the rupture of a large number of capillaries due to the injury, and the blood leaks out rapidly, which destroys the balance of normal microcirculation, and accumulates into swelling, pain, ecchymosis, etc., so ** should be based on relaxing the muscles and invigorating blood to regulate and dredge the microcirculation, as long as the microcirculation is unblocked, the swelling, pain, accumulation, etc. can disappear, and the body will follow**. It is recommended that traditional Chinese medicine plasters be applied externally, relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, reduce swelling and relieve pain, invigorate blood and disperse stasis, dispel wind and cold, and conduct it to the meridians, muscles and bones, stimulate the body's regulatory function, which can quickly eliminate swelling and pain, promote functional recovery and quickly achieve the goal.

Good luck soon**!

As we all know, I sprained my ankle and recuperated at home all day long, from the beginning of the sprain, I "read" all the bone injury methods on the Internet, and summarized the following experience, among which the improper ** way, the girl also pointed out one by one, hoping to help injured friends 1 In the early stage of sprain, determine whether the fracture is in the words of the people, as long as you can move and walk with pain, the bone is initially determined to be no problem, because most injured people cannot bear the pain of fracture. 2 Do not use ice water within 24 hours because in the early stage of sprain, soft tissue injury and capillary bleeding, so most professionals recommend using ice water to cold the affected area within 24 hours of injury, so as to reduce the bleeding of subcutaneous tissues and reduce the possibility of swelling and pain as much as possible. This method does have some effect, but when you apply ice water to the affected area, the ice water and cold air will enter your bones, buying a deep hidden danger of arthritis in the future.

Therefore, the girl recommends that you cut leeks into thin strips (fresh leeks, do not rinse, mud is acceptable) in the early stage of sprain, wrap them in gauze overnight, and remove them the next day. (This method is the earthwork of the old Chinese medicine, which is very effective, but please confirm that your ** has no trauma before using this method, because leeks cannot be cleaned, if there is trauma, it is easy to be infected, if not, you can use it with confidence) 3 Sleep with high feet When you sleep at night, please raise your ankles slightly and flush with your legs, which can relieve the pressure of blood on your feet and relieve swelling and pain4 The next morning, after a night of "baptism of leeks", you can disassemble the gauze, wash your feet with hot water, and intermittently do hot compress5 Massage is accompanied by hot compresses, with massage**, pay attention to the massage is not the painful area, press indiscriminately, it is best to massage around the affected area. Take the injured ankle as an example, do not press the injured ankle too hard, near the ankle, including the toes, instep, calf, massage in a certain order, until it is hot, and slightly massage the injured ankle.

It's okay to use iodine wine instead of injured friends, use this method to get alive as soon as possible, friends who have been alive all the time, use this method to help injured friends around you, or you can throw it into the knowledge reserve for use when you are not feeling well

Ankle sprain, if the injury does not involve the ligament tissue, as long as it is conservative, abide by the principles of rest, ice, compression bandaging, and elevation of the affected limb, you can get a satisfactory curative effect. In the acute phase of the injury, that is, within 24 hours, if you use safflower oil to rub it, it will aggravate the blood exudation of the injured site and aggravate the swelling, so the use of safflower oil must be 24 hours after the injury, and it should not be used for patients with ulceration or allergies. In the acute phase, cold compresses can be applied for 24 to 48 hours each time, 10 to 20 minutes each time, once every 6 hours.

Massage is not possible in the acute phase. For acute injury, you can press the Yanglingquan acupuncture point to reduce the pain. In severe cases, apply it externally with bone grafting**.

Treatment of foot sprain Apply cold or ice within 24 hours to facilitate vasoconstriction, reduce bleeding, and play a role in reducing swelling and relieving pain; After 24 hours, you can apply a warm compress daily to help promote blood circulation and reduce edema. Minor soft-tissue injuries usually heal spontaneously. If it does not heal on its own within 2-3 weeks, it is necessary to take the drug aggressively, otherwise chronic inflammation will develop.

Topical medicine recommends Guangxi Huang's bone-setting and activating wine, which has a good effect on promoting microcirculation, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and new sprains can generally be healed within a week, and the medicinal wine is also cheap. For chronic inflammation, it can also be thoroughly in about a month**.

1. Generally speaking, if you don't have severe pain when you move your ankle, you can barely stand and walk reluctantly; If the pain is not on the bones but on the muscles, most of the pain is a sprain, so you can deal with it yourself. If you have severe pain when you move your ankle, you can't stand and move with weight, the pain is on the bone, or you feel the sound in your foot when you sprain, and the swelling occurs quickly after the injury, especially if the tender point is on the high protruding bone in the middle of the lateral malleolus or outer foot surface, it is a sign of serious injury and you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately. If you can't go to the hospital for a while, you can also temporarily dispose of it according to the following methods, and then go to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible**.

2. Use hot and cold compresses correctly. Hot and cold compresses are both physical**, but they have very different effects. Blood is hot and alive, and cold is coagulated.

Therefore, cold compresses should be applied when the ruptured blood vessel is still bleeding to control the progression of the injury. Wait until the bleeding has stopped before applying a warm compress to dissipate the bruising around the wound.

How do you know if the bleeding has stopped? In principle, it is 24 hours after the injury, and the following points can also be referred to: first, the pain and swelling tend to stabilize and no longer continue to aggravate; Second, there is little difference in the feeling of swelling when raising and lowering the affected foot; Third, the temperature of the wound ** has changed from slightly higher than the normal part to quite similar, which can be used as the basis for the cessation of bleeding.

3. Appropriate activities. As swelling and pain progress after an injury, do not stand or walk around with your weight supported, and it is best to elevate the affected limb to limit any movement. When the condition is stable, the affected limb can be elevated for active movement of the foot and ankle, but activities in the direction that can cause severe pain should not be done.

Wait until the swelling and pain gradually subside, and then walk around the ground, preferably for a short period of time, and gradually increase as you get used to it.

4. Correct kneading. Before the bleeding stops, it is advisable to do continuous rubbing on the hematoma, by pressing the thenar area with the palm of the hand, and the pressure is still tolerable despite the pain. The time is to continue to press for 2 to 3 minutes, then release slowly, stop for a moment and repeat the operation.

Every 5 repetitions is a phase, and it is more appropriate to do 3 to 4 phases a day. After the bleeding stops, knead the area, apply a certain amount of pressure to the area with the thenar or thumb and fingertips, and knead in the direction of the obvious swelling in the center, centrifugally in all directions around it, for 2 3 minutes each time, 3 5 times a day.

5. Rational use of drugs. Before the bleeding stops, it is not advisable to take the blood-invigorating drugs internally or externally, and the Yunnan Baiyao aerosol can be sprayed on the wound and the Yunnan blood medicine can be taken internally. After the bleeding stops, it is advisable to take bone-setting pills, blood circulation and pain relief. In the later stage, it can be fumigated with Chinese herbs.

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.

Clause. 2. For those with mild symptoms, cold water or cold towels can be applied and the affected limb can be 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.

Clause. 3. If the ankle sprain has been more than 24 hours, it should be switched to a warm compress**. 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. If there is a large amount of hemarthrosis, it should be withdrawn in time under aseptic technique to avoid intra-articular adhesions after sequea. Ligament rupture or avulsion fracture that affects joint stability requires surgical reduction repair to avoid recurrent sprains, articular cartilage damage and traumatic arthritis.

Analysis:

Hello, this situation is a local soft tissue injury, and it is recommended to actively treat the symptoms**.

Guidance: You can apply it locally to reduce swelling and relieve pain, and at the same time take oral rejunsha, vitamin C, bone-setting pills, and indomethacin, or you can apply it topically to avoid walking for a long time, and it will get better slowly.

Pay attention to rest and try not to move, elevating the affected limb is conducive to the elimination of edema; Immediately after the injury, a cold compress is given, a hot compress is given 48 hours later, and external musk Zhuang bone paste or Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, oral Yunnan Baiyao capsules and anti-inflammatory drugs will slowly improve. First aid after a sprained foot.

1.Rest, stop exercising immediately, and don't put any more weight on the injured joint.

2.Cold. Ice cubes or other cold compresses can help reduce pain and swelling because lowering the temperature can reduce blood circulation. Apply a cold compress for 15 to 20 minutes three to four times a day.

3.Oppress. Compression of the injured area with bandages or other methods can reduce bleeding and bruising. The tightness of the bandage should be moderate, you can feel the pressure but it won't make your ends tingle or ischemia.

4.Elevate the affected limb. The main purpose of elevating the affected limb is to reduce swelling and promote blood return.

5.After two days, you can massage and apply warm compresses, and slowly begin to resume exercise and stretching. Be sure to warm up before exercising and stretching.

6.Topical medicinal liquor, mainly used for injuries of the locomotor system**. When using, first rub the medicinal liquor on the affected area, and then repeatedly press, knead, and stroke the affected area and its surroundings, and cooperate with auxiliary techniques such as pinching, plucking, smoothing, and rotating to improve the efficacy.

7.Massage**. After 3 days, a light manual massage can be performed

1) Massage the Jiexi acupoint (the ** of the striated ankle joint of the dorsum of the foot, between the extensor pollicis longus tendon and the extensor toe tendon) for 1min; (2) Massage the Kunlun acupoint (the midpoint of the line between the lateral malleolus and the Achilles tendon) for 1min; (3) Massage the Hanging Bell Acupoint (3 inches up and down the tip of the outer malleolus, the posterior edge of the fibula) for 1min; (4) Massage the Yanglingquan acupoint (in the depression below the fibula head) for 1min. The above acupressure points are all based on the patient's soreness and swelling feeling.

8.Acupuncture for ankle sprains**. The patient is in the supine or sitting position, and the doctor rubs the ankle, first from the affected part to the periphery, and then from the lateral malleolus, through the outside of the calf to Yangling Spring, focusing on the three acupoints of mounds, bones, and Yangling Spring.

Then use your thumb to push the affected area, also from the local area to the periphery, to promote blood circulation and disperse stasis. Good luck soon**!
