    I rolled over my ankle and got a sprained ankle while stepping out the one foot tall wooden deck into the lawn last night. It was such a silly mistake but I must say I was multitasking and not present mentally. That cost me whole night alone in the ER on a wheelchair, xray was performed right away, then wouldn't say anything neither discharge me. At last I checked out without saying anything. Totally immobilized. Later in the morning, I reviewed my X-ray results, it was all okay, some soft tissue swelling. It's def btw 1-2 grade ankle sprain. Performing RICE religiously and started to feeling better after 18 hrs.

    So I think I sprained my ankle a few weeks ago on the tennis court, I was just getting over the flu and I tried to play whilst all my muscles were still very sore and weak.
    I hit a few serves and then pop, but there didn’t seem to be much swelling or any bruising, just sharp pain!
    What hurts the most is the ankle bearing weight in plantar flexion, occasionally I accidentally jerk it or step funny and I’ll get a sharp pain and won’t be able to lift my foot as it feels seized until I manually adjust it and it kinda feels like it pops back.
    It’s painfully depressing being partially crippled by an ankle injury but I think what’s worse is not knowing whether it’s worse and your (they can be brilliant) nhs palming you of with “rest it and ibuprofen, and see the gp if it still hurts in 2 weeks”.
    I’m only 33 and played sports my entire life, never use the health service for anything but the one time I feel something is very wrong and go.

      @mrquitehappy Рік тому +1

      This is not correct. The video and explanation are clear. Ice reduces swelling, bleeding in the immediate aftermath of an injury. After a few days when the immediate inflammatory phase has ended then you are correct and icing should not be carried out at this point. But for immediate emergency care, ice, ice, ice....

      Elevation merely counteracts gravity dependent swelling. If you have a normal arterial system (ie no vascular disease) then it will NOT affect the blood flow to your ankle. If you have a vascular problem the. You should seek medical advice.

Then I sprained my left ankle! They both look just like a Grade 3. I just now found 2 Mueller ankle stretch Velcro support wraps and I am wearing them now. Unfortunately I have no health insurance, do you think I should go get checked?

    Thanks so much for sharing such useful things. Well, can you tell me how to treat the knee at home? Please let me know.

      We can certainly look into making another video focusing on the knee. Stay posted.

      You should go and see an orthopaedic expert and they may recommend an MRI scan
