@@DrTomBiernacki these things just are like natural selection, except instead of the weaker suffering, life just rolls a dice and decides who to make suffer.
We really hope that you feel better, that is tough for sure! We really hope start to improve Just make sure to see a podiatrist or your primary care doctor in the future if your problem continues. We really, really appreciate you as a fan and than you for watching!
Kevin Marshall Sorry to hear that-it was more painful for me the second day too. How did you sprain it? If you haven’t already, it might be worth to get an Xray done to make sure you don’t have a hairline fracture. My ankle is much better! It was a moderate sprain so I’ve been put in a boot and can get around now without too much difficulty. It’ll take about a month and a half to heal.
Pleased to hear your on the mend. I'm Getting a X Ray tomorrow, so fingers crossed nothing is broken. So easy how things can happen just slipped going down a step and rolled my ankle.
I'm not an athlete but I lost a bunch of weight doing some boxing routines 30 minutes every day, alternating between speedbag, heavy bag and footwork so as not to destroy my wrists and... now I don't feel like doing anything till this damn thing heals. My moods shot.
Mane it is especially right now for me, i sprained my ankle last month 3 times in a match and then the next week 2 times and then last week I sprained it on Thursday and today I sprained it again and on Monday I got my first high school game this shit is sad 😕
@@_mubarak02 yea it’s not too bad, it’s actually weird because we was practicing and then I made a challenge and once I planted my foot and bended and so then I just went and sat down for like 10 minutes and then I continue to play and I was running and walking perfect and then I went walking home ( 1 hour walk ) and I wasn’t feeling no pain and then once I got home I just laid down and then like 1 hour later I get up and I felt pain and couldn’t walk
@@eduardojordan4839 Yh bro we are young so our bodies are practically immune to pain at first it’s our adrenaline rush it’s so high when young bro but like u said u felt pain id personally say sit this one out bro , ankles tend to be nothing at first but if sprained over and over u could eventually break it and that will mess u up forever ! But if your happy to go ahead try see a physio before ur game and get professional acceptance to play bro
thank you for letting me know it’s not as bad as i thought because i’ve sprained my right ankle twice and now my left 😂 this helps alot and gives me relief
With Covid-19, I’d like to avoid going to an urgent care, so I’ve been looking for something to help me self-diagnose all day. This is the only truly helpful video I’ve watched. I appreciate this, doc! Thank you!
I slipped and fell down the stairs and seriously landed wrong. My ankle made a loud pop I instantly felt nauseous and knew I better not put any weight on it. Thanks to your video's 7 weeks later I am up and walking around almost normal. It lets me know when to sit back down a wait for the next day to start again. Each day after doing what I call your physical therapy suggestions I am able to accomplish more and more. Grateful for all your video's, Thank You Much Respect!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have the same experience. I fell from the stairs and my step got wrong and my second toe the longer one on the right foot has chip fracture my foot has been casted for 5 weeks and just removed 3 hours ago. Now i have still the pain because in 5 weeks my foot had no mobilization. I dont know when this foot totally be used because i cant walk with two feet. I hop like a bird with a walker.
It was raining really heavily in my city and I fell a total of 3 times since the roads were insanely slippery. The third time I fell, my ankle had enough and sprained. Found it difficult to stand up but this video is just what I needed. Thank you so much Doc.
Thanks a lot Doctor, you just saved my left Leg Ankle and ligament. While playing football, I flew so high to catch a football at the air and landed with my left foot imbalance and twisted. It hurts so bad 😭😭
Ahh, so glad I found this channel! Got a grade 3 last month and was being told to start stretching and exercising it, but I'll get the brace ASAP, thanks doc!
Thank you for confirming what my gut feeling is that the body needs to rest and heal itself. So glad I found this before starting other exercises on previous videos I watched
two years ago, I had severe ankle sprain and tore the ligament. I did go to see the doctor they only X-ray and give me medicine to rest after that didn't do further. Now my ligament is forever injured and I can only build up my leg muscle to support it. I wish i was more careful on that day. That is the only regret I have in my whole life. Before, I have never thought having the uninjured body is such a blessing and cannot be exchanged with anything.
hey me too . i did not took much care at the time of injury. my ligament is also not healing . it's been 1yr 11 months. all i am doing is theraband exercises for now. Doctor said if exercises dosen't work then i should undergo surgery. But he said surgery might not be effective either.
My brother yesterday get ankle sprain , I been through dozen's of video's and now I found the most useful one.... Thank you so much Michigan Foot Doctors

Big tip here.. happend to my while doing flatground tricks too.. you have to go faster when practicing flatground tricks. Because when you fail you will fall and roll the energy out. If you are to slow all the gravity will go on your feets causing you to roll you ancle. Rather fall and roll out then twist you ancle.
How is it going? Its been two weeks since the injury. Gonna have the cast removed on 30th of september. There's been a very small change but still cannot really step on my right foot.
I want to update my initial reaction to this video. I found it informative and concise, even when currently dealing with a swelling ankle. Thank you doctor.
Thanks for the video, I rolled my ankle so badly at the gym this morning and watching this video puts me in further pain! Quite information of course, thanks for sharing the knowledge.
So general advice not specific to you, if you hear a pop that can tend to mean an injury to the ligament. But at the same time it can just be clicking of your subtalar joint which may not be much. Be safe and get evaluated, especially if there is associated pain and swelling, hope you feel better!
CikMJ It depends how bad it is. A grade 1 ankle sprain is just a stretch to the ligament and you should still be able to walk with very little pain. It should heal pretty fast. If it’s a grade 2 ankle sprain (partially torn ligaments) then you could be out of sports for 8 weeks, have trouble walking and in more pain. If it’s a grade 3 (full tear to the ligaments) then you could be out of sports for 3 months and you aren’t able to walk at all. Visit a doctor if you are unable to walk or are having trouble to walk as your ligaments could be torn. Also use the RICE method as well. Rest, Ice, Compress and Elevate. The RICE method can help reduce swelling but it won’t heal it. Hope this helps!
@@DrTomBiernacki i think i have problem. I did that to my foot on the side about 3-4 months ago, and my ankle cracks when i roll two times (when it's turned down and upper right, it also sometimes pain a bit when it's turned upper right). It don't pain when i walk or run. What should i do?
It’s been a month. I believe I have a grade 3 sprain because my ankle was swollen and very blue. As greedy and dumb as I was, I started playing basketball again 2 weeks after the injury. It felt fine for about 30 minutes but after that I couldn’t bear the pain. Decided to take a few days off. Came back the week after. This time I could play for an hour before I had to go off. Today I decided I’ll take next week off from basketball practice and begin doing more rehabilitation exercises. Good luck to anyone going through an ankle injury. Make sure to rest enough and don’t go back to exercising too quickly!
I kept reading articles of ankle sprains and my ankle sprains feels lose and feels weird when I put it down. There was no bruising but big swelling. I felt relief after this. I was also told that grade 3 takes 3 months of more to heal and I really though I had a grade three because I have basketball camp 😭
Doc I got done dirty I for sure had a phase 3 sprain from work as a truck loader (on feet ALL day) and they made me come back after 2 DAYS! Consider seeing a specialist now cause my ankle pops followed by pain when rotating my ankle outwards

This was great! I have a grade 3 and I’ve been off of it for 2 solid weeks. Doing the RICE treatment. I do have a boot so I’ll be trying to use that soon!
64 yrs old, woke up w twisted ankle! So painful and swollen day 1and 2 I wasn't sure what or where it hurt. I can walk very slowly, very painfully but on edge of my foot short distances to bathroom and kitchen with support ,backs of chairs etc. A cane isn't much help. I've been alternating ice and heat but it's still very swollen so I'll just use ice for the next few days so thankyou for this.
How is your ankle now and how long did it take to recover? I’m one month and still have slight swelling around ankle joint however I did have a very bad strain
Thank you man, I’ve felt this pain in my ankle for the past couple of days and this video really helped, was playing football and I planted my foot to turn and it happened so thank you
This was so helpful! I guess I got a stage 3 afterall😪. I fell in a small hole so stepped down and then rolled my ankle, it was swollen and bruised (but not as much as the picture). I stayed off of it and elevated/let it rest but I’ll look into the boot to help. Ive been having a lot of swelling in the back ligament so I hope this helps. I’ll just really take it easy. Thank you!
Hey bud, this is most genuine video I found about ankle sprain on the internet... absolute facts and truths... keep up the good work... best wishes..!!!
I have had grade 1 strain on my ATFL for about 2 weeks! i say grade 1 cause i am able to walk without much difficulty but when i touch or feel the spot i can still feel the slight pain
That's why I love UA-cam and social media. It connects you to the information we want, whenever. My son sprained both ankles and was diagnosed with soft tissue injury. He still can't stand or walk for 2 weeks
Very helpful. Thank you for visual of drawing on the ankle. It helped me to show my child and get a better understanding of where their pain was located. Strangely my child had ankle pain but no visible swelling in this case. Looks like the ATFL now.
I did a hyper extended toe touch at cheer practice in high school and landed right on my left ankle and it bent sideways and I heard a pop. Couldn’t walk for the rest for the rest of the day. I healed maybe after 2 months. Worst injury ever 😂(out of all my other ones). I had to walk to the bus and around school the day after the Injury happened . You could imagine the pain I was going through. But I’m fine now! It was years ago haha😂.
Ach. I have hEDS. I have no idea how many times my ankles have gotten sprained over the years. I wish this info was readily available in the 1980s, when my younger self needed the advice -- instead of being in the school nurse's office every 2 weeks. Thank you!

Thanks for the informative video! Really put my mind at ease. I recently rolled my foot playing football and heard a loud snap. Almost Instantly the pain started to kick in to the point where I couldn’t put much weight on it without pain. The next day was far better and I could limp around pretty pain free as long as I didn’t press too hard. Day 3 was even better, I could almost walk normally with minimal pain. Do you reckon this falls under the stage 1 sprain ?
@@DrTomBiernacki given what i just said, would you expect this to be a type 1 sprain? of course you couldn't comment accurately from behind a computer screen but i would just like a good idea of what to expect.
@@Jake-xn9xk Rescue Medic here (and one year too late). The snap very much sounds like Grade 2 or 3. The first is a overstretched Ligament with minor tearing that wont cause any snapping sounds that will be heard without a stethoscope. Type 2 and 3 are major to full tears that will cause ligament injuries to be recognizable by sound.
@@BOMERdeath123 How do you listen for that? We have a stethoscope here. I heard a crack for sure the moment I injured it, I freaked out that I broke my foot, but there is no bruising. I could not put any weight on it the first day, and I was scared to at all the next day (wanted to give time to heal just in case). There is definite swelling plus pain/tenderness when I brush my fingers just lightly over the ATFL area. Tomorrow I want to try and really gradually add a little weight/practice a little and literally only once or twice every few hours. I’m definitely scared of re-injuring.
@@Arkenva No Stethoscope needed. It's a audible Snap/Crack Sound. You very much likely have a Second to Third degree Sprain, especially the weight issue confirms that. Don't use your leg for at least a week. Keep it elevated above the heart, use Diclofenac, compression bandages and cooling.
To be clear: if you have an injury go see a doctor! This is not meant to replace the advice of your doctor! If you twisted your ankle up and out, you night have a high ankle sprain! Check out our "high ankle" sprain treatment guide! ua-cam.com/video/1RjlOWVvfn8/v-deo.html
How is your now after a month? I just sprained my right ankle this morning while playing soccer it hurts so bad and swelling everyone says I should go get it massaged but I know it’s not broken just swollen I’ll do everything the dr said tho and hope for the best

I recently rolled my ankle (last Saturday) while hiking. It's something that I re-injured, but this time was different. I ended up hiking back out to my truck with minimal pain. My ankle was swollen and bruised (a little tender) and I could bear weight on it without sharp pains. My ankle felt stable, had good range of motion in every direction. There is some pain when doing calf stretches, but it's not intolerable. I have been doing PRICE since the incident. I'm reluctant to go in because last time this happened and was recovering, my PCM didn't seem to be worried as long as I was progressing and not in pain. So, It's weird that it looked worse than how it feels. Again, I can stand on the injured foot and balance fine, I can do calf raises fine and rotate my ankle up/down, left/right. Last time this happened a few months ago, it felt worse and I was less stable...any thoughts? Oh, I played softball on it 4 days later and felt fine (used ASO brace for stability/protection).
We find chronic and continuing pain is usually not the ligament that was injured, but stiffness through the ankle and Achilles tendon from compensating (pronating). There is many thing it can be, but at the same time soreness can take a few months to go away completely! If worried get some professional assistance!
3 months ago i got a 3 grade sprain i totally blackout somes says it because of my nerve got dislocated but today i got to know what happened that day And after all this days months i still have pain in my foot 😭 now i will apply ice Thank you
Suffered a grade 3 ankle injury with 2 torn ligaments. Was put in a tall walking boot for the first 3 months and told to stay off of it for those 3 months and was told to sleep in this boot for that amount of time. Went back to get reevaluated and had to keep it in the boot boot for 2 months. Now I can walk in the moonboot with some help off my crutches crutches. Doctor said my x-rays look really good so I can come out of the moonboot for about a hour or so on the mornings than again in the evening for the same amount of time and that I can wear a shoe when I'm out the boot. Going thru my first week of physical therapy.
Omg for watching other videos I thought I was taking too long to heal but thanks to this video I see that I Still have to be resting for grade 3! Great video 🙌🏼

I wouldn't worry about your ankle taking longer to heal at all, as long as it doesn't get worse. I had a severe 3rd degree ankle sprain (torn ligament, bone chips), and even with a bulky brace and several months of physical therapy, my ankle still felt stiff and painful. Turns out it simply needed TIME to heal due to the bad injury (It's fine now). Three things I learned: 1) For me a phy therapist massaging the ankle joint was like heaven, helping so much with the stiffness and scar tissue (but probably too soon for you yet). 2) Don't rush back to sports or activities too soon! I kept thinking I "should" be healed by now, but clearly wasn't ready yet, and suffered several setbacks, wasting valuable healing time. With injuries, always err on the side of caution. 3) Many people (myself included) who suffer a bad ankle sprain seem to re-sprain the same ankle. It might be due to the ankle being weaker now, or still not comfortable with it in activities, but it's something to be aware of. Anyway, good luck, you'll be good to go in no time!
@@markb20 hi bro its been exactly one month for my sprained ankle and i still cant put weight in it.Do u think i should start visit a phisical therapist and also start doing some exercise for it
@@m4teoff384 Hey dude, sorry to hear about your injury. I'm guessing you either had x-rays to rule out a break, or just have improved enough to know it's not broken, right? I would check with your doc or a phy therapist about that, really. Even when I started phy therapy (after my cast came off), there was this aggressive therapist that moved my foot around so much it f-king hurt like hell! I complained, another therapist helped me using gentler exercises (and deep tissue massage, which was incredible), and I was able to start my own exercises at home. I guess without knowing how bad your ankle is (1st, 2nd 3rd degree sprain? 1st degree is a stretching of the ligament, 2nd is partial tearing, 3rd degree- what I had- is a complete tear. They can usually tell by the amount of swelling, dark bruising showing up, and how much pain). Can you put weight on it without pain? I remember that was something they looked at. Pain- especially pain that doesn't improve- usually means you still need time to heal. But there is ALSO the danger of letting too much scar tissue form if the ligament tore. And that's where physical therapy comes in. Along with trying to make the ankle stronger again, they want to try to break up the scar tissue "adhesions" that form in a tear. That's where you need a doctor or therapist- to figure out if your injury has healed enough to start moving it around to make it strong again. Sorry this is so long- people love talking about their old injuries! Last thing- I remember people telling me when they heard I ripped my ankle ligament, "You would have been better off just breaking a bone". They were right. Soft tissue injuries suck- they can take longer to heal completely, depending on how bad it is. Anyway, good luck, no doubt you'll be good as new in no time!
@@markb20 Very relatable bro fr😭 Yes i did make a x-rays and the doc said that it wasnt broken and then he said that “it would have been better if u broke it” Im not sure if i have a 2 or 3 grade tho but i think its a bad 2 grade.I havent really felt any pain except the first 5 days when i used to feel some pain but i think it was because of a cream i used to supply. Well i cant really put weight on my leg rn.If i put weight it feels like my ankle will move out of its place,i can put just a little weight tho. So i think its a very bad 2 grade sprained ankle as I would feel more pain right? Btw it can heals without a surgery? Thanks bro and would love to hear more from u
I rolled my ankle 4 months ago. Rested it for 10 weeks with physiotherapy I was back to sport. First game back to football I rolled it again and it’s forever felt weak. What course of action or stage would you recommend I start at? I can walk fine on the ankle but it just feels very weak, and MRI scan confirmed the sprain. Cheers
Ouch ya that is tough, unfortunately the answer is always to get it evaluated and imaged by a specialist to know if anything is going on. It's hard to say without doing these things. We really hope you feel better soon!

Question: How do you feel about the method that a lot of top athletes use if they arent getting surgery which is to safely utilize the ankles mobility as soon as possible after injury. This usually includes very light resistance as long as no pain is felt
You mean like walking? I have heard that if possible, one should use proper walking technique after a sprain as soon as possible, also so it heals properly.
I've twisted my ankle(s) so many times it's ridiculous...it seems after you twist it once it just keeps happening. Anyway, one thing I've found works almost miraculously is comfree gel. It speeds up the healing process by days if not weeks. That said, icing and compression is obviously a must.
Same here as far as repeat sprains to my left ankle. I had a severe 3rd degree sprain (torn ligament/bone chips) after running down stairs full speed and hitting the last stair wrong. I will never forget the "crack" I heard, convinced I broke my foot. Turns out it was the ligament snapping apart. For me the one thing that seemed to help so much was a physical therapist massaging the ankle joint, which seemed to speed up the healing, and got me back faster to running and sports. (Sorry about the length; you know how it is when people start talking about their injuries!)
That's so true it seems once you sprain your ankle it weakens it and it keeps happening. I rolled my ankle on November 6 and fell breaking my elbow which required surgery. But my ankle is still tender and after listening to his video it should have been healed already! Next appointment I will let my primary know
I rolled it the opppsite way, ankle out rather than rolling in as shown in the start of the video. Pain around the the inside of the foot at the ankle rather than outside.
Great simple explanation, straight to the point. Wow, my doctor started me immediately on PT and straight back to work. Now I am told I have two torn ligaments and a fracture after two months!!! What happened?

I cringe each time I watch these ankle sprain videos; I was running down stairs full speed, left foot caught the last stair wrong, and heard a loud "crack" as I fell to the ground. I thought I broke it, but was told later it was the ligament(s) tearing apart. Had a "severe" 3rd degree sprain- 2 torn ligaments with bone chips (about 10 years ago). They were on the fence about surgery (mostly to remove the bone chips); I opted for a hard cast for 1-2 months, then 3 months of physical therapy with a walking brace. I also received steroid injections into the ankle joint. All told, 6 months to heal, but it took a year to get back to my running again, and several years for the ankle stiffness to get better. I received all kinds of advice for a severe 3rd degree ankle injury like I had, but among the best- while healing, don't say you sprained the ankle- people think of "twisted" ankles. Say you tore the ligament(s), which gives them a better idea of what happened. 2) The physical therapy was great, but without a doubt the ankle/ligaments massage was like Nirvana! Helped with the stiffness and scar tissue so much. 3) If involved with sports, don't rush back, and don't let others (always your "buddies") try to hurry you back to play. I had several setbacks due to giving in. If I only knew then what I know now... (the story of my life!).
So I'm stupid and was attempting to jump over this chair and the last step before I jumped, my ankle did a whole 90 degrees curve and I got veryyyy light headed and was very swollen 10 seconds after the injury, I could not walk on it the first day but by second day it was feeling much better but still with a limp. The third day, It was bruised the most. Like there was a line of bruising parallel with my feet and my whole foot was a couple of shades darker. Its been exactly a week now and I walk with no pain but when I try to full extend my ankle out, It hurts on my third ligament that you said usually doesn't get hurt, and also the first ligament ( which still has a bump of soreness on it) Should I be worried or just give it a week of rest?

Hi Dr. Tom, I just stumbled across your presentation and found it very informative! My 14 year old daughter badly sprained her ankle playing football 11 days ago, and I think it was either a grade 2 or maybe even grade 3 sprain. She heard an audible 'crack' as did the referee from 5 meters away, and we ended up taking her to A&E (we are based in the UK). Following an x-ray, the doctor confirmed it was not broken but was not very helpful in terms of a specific diagnosis or methods of recovery / healing. Her ankle did not swell too much or bruise immediately, and we used plenty of elevation and ice (R.I.C.E), in the first few days as she walked around on crutches when attending school. She started putting weight on it after 4 days and even more so this past weekend which led to some slight swelling and purple bruising below the fibula which seems to have dissipated again. She is now only using one crutch at school and has slight swelling by the end of the day which is gone in the morning. We have also been using a UV lamp for the past few evenings to try and help repair some of the internal damage. We are due to go on a snowboarding trip on the 27th February, where she will be strapped into bindings and boots which support the ankle. Is it realistic to think it will have healed sufficiently by then, or is it an unachievable goal? In the meantime, I am going to purchase the McDavid Light Ankle Brace and POWERLIX Ankle Support Brace for her to use. Many Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide regarding the snowboarding trip!

Hello doc, so about everyday i go outside i play basketball in my backyard, And also everyday i end up rolling my ankle ( im very clumsy ). But today when i rolled it, it was different. I heard a pop when i landed, and went straight to the ground. Unlike the other ones i was there for a good 1-2 minutes. When i walk now it hurts severely on my ankle, and right below it it is very swollen. Should i go to the doctor or is it fine ?
We would love to help you with your foot and ankle problem, but a complex problem like this really does require in depth evaluation and imaging to make a proper diagnosis.

Twisted mine two days ago, yesterday was pretty red and swollen. Not it barely hurts, however I cannot move it minimally. In 2 weeks time I need to run 1,5 mile or basically my life is finished. I'm praying, healing, resting, elevating and compressing religiously. I need to find a way and shoot my shot
Got my ankle sprained this morning. I had a lot of history of ankle sprain. I really need to take care of it now. Most people just brush it out saying it’ll be fine in a couple of days. Turns out my ankle will never go back the same
So I rolled my ankle playing ball, it feels like i tore, a ligament or tendent. What do I do? If doesn’t hurt when I’m sitting, when I get up tho it’s pretty bad. How do I know what I did, and what should I do?....
I had the same problem a week ago. When I was sitting I could rest it on the floor but when I stood up I could barley put any weight on it and it was very painful. However its been a week now and I'm able to walk on my foot with it pointed slightly sideways but still needs some rest. I'm able to put more weight on it but can't balance on 1 leg yet. I'd guess you have a grade 2 sprain as I injured mine basically in the same way and faced the same problems.
I went to a foot and ankle 'specialist ' recently having rolled in and sprained both my ankles within three months of eachother. Since this I haven't regained the confidence in my ankles as they're very weak. The specialist didn't touch my ankles once in a 45 min consultation and went on a hard sell for inserts/insoles . This, I believe, is not a long term healing remedy, rather a long term patch job. Having watched this i totally understand the anatomy of the ankle and I'll continue to rebuild ,hopefully I'll dance the Cha Cha someday again and not have to worry about going out the 'side door'😂😂😂
I don’t know if you ended up going to tryouts but it’s better off letting it heal properly like how he said. I had a grade 3 ankle sprain last year and got injured 2 times after because I didn’t let it heal correctly

I was walking and busy talking and didnt see a dip in the side walk and went over on my ankle.. thank u so much for this info and u were so good in explaining as some videos never get to the point...thank u so much....
Thanks for the great response! We are trying haha If possible, we would appreciate a quick & easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us! g.page/r/CaxJ9b-O6o27EAg/review Thanks again for watching!
Hi Doc, Ive sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago now. Im able to walk/run and move my ankle now but there is still minor swelling around the ankle and can't quite see the bones yet. I really miss playing basketball do you think it is good to mobilize it and run even though there is still a little bit of swelling?
We would love to be able to give you a more specific answer, but unfortunately we cannot do so. These are very complex medical problems that do require specific evaluation in both physical and imaging modalities. Please see a podiatrist near you for further evaluation. We really do appreciate you as a fan and we hope to bring you more detailed videos that help more in the future!
Think of a sprained ankle as two phases: 1) Initially control the inflammation and pain, 2) You have to keep it protected to let the ankle heal. A really important thing to remember is just because stuff makes it feel better, it does not mean the ankle is healed! If you have a high ankle sprain, watch this guide: ua-cam.com/video/1RjlOWVvfn8/v-deo.html
Haha, same. My gym told me to try using it as much as possible though, so i did and now im scared ive treated it wrong. Its been three weeks now, and its still kinda sore. How long did it take you to get back on the wal? Are you scared of jumping down now? Im honestly so scared of going back, i dont wanna go through that again.
@@TheCatiduso I think it’s normal for it to be sore. You should probably only do things that don’t hurt to minimize further pain and inflammation. I wouldn’t be taking gym advice without a grain of salt. I would follow the advice of this video to ensure further injury doesn’t occur. Best of luck to you.
I sprained my ankle like a good almost 2 months ago , Nd it looks normal now but I tried running Nd like it hurts to run like if I step too hard I feel pain in the middle of my foot. do I still need to give it more time heal?
This is my third time, had two major sprain, and week before had light injury. I was able to get back after one week. Ordered ankle brace with plastic side supports. Next time i play, i definitely wear them.
Thanks for this helpful video. I agree with 99% of what you're saying, BUT massage, when done at the appropriate phase of healing, CAN in fact help increase blood flow to ligaments/tendons and improve healing. Many studies out there demonstrating this
You are 100% correct, in the acute setting it is generally just too painful, massage is amazing for longer term subacute or chronic recovery. It will improve flexibility and blood flow, but I meant it more in terms of initial injury. Thanks for your input!
This is the best video explaining the typical ankle sprain I've seen. I just tore all three of those ligaments but the weird part is very little pain and I was walking around on it for the first couple days (out i wilderness away from medical treatment). the bruising is atrocious and my doctor gasped at that and the swelling, but I don't even have a limp. Xray came back no acute fractures or malalignment so no idea why I am not in agony (compared to other bad sprains I've had that were not as severe as this but caused intense pain).
With an ankle sprain, I realised one thing, always be thankful for being able to do your daily chores on your own....
Very true.. I had a breakdown 1-2 days after I sprained my ankle, and being stuck on the bed the whole day..
Lol I was outta work but went back yesterday felt like crap cuz I heard 3 pops in ankle
very true. Already one month now since my ankle got sprained and everything simple before was very hard

I got up from a chair, didn’t realize my foot had fallen asleep, tripped over my foot, and fell flat on my face. And now I’m here.
How's your ankle now? Just twisted mine yesterday, it's more painful today.
Kevin Marshall Sorry to hear that-it was more painful for me the second day too. How did you sprain it? If you haven’t already, it might be worth to get an Xray done to make sure you don’t have a hairline fracture.
My ankle is much better! It was a moderate sprain so I’ve been put in a boot and can get around now without too much difficulty. It’ll take about a month and a half to heal.
Pleased to hear your on the mend.
I'm Getting a X Ray tomorrow, so fingers crossed nothing is broken. So easy how things can happen just slipped going down a step and rolled my ankle.
You sprained your face! 😮
Same here..... still Struggling with pain nd imbalanced walk... It's been 3 months now
Man it hurts and sucks when your an athlete recovering 😔
I'm not an athlete but I lost a bunch of weight doing some boxing routines 30 minutes every day, alternating between speedbag, heavy bag and footwork so as not to destroy my wrists and... now I don't feel like doing anything till this damn thing heals. My moods shot.
Mane it is especially right now for me, i sprained my ankle last month 3 times in a match and then the next week 2 times and then last week I sprained it on Thursday and today I sprained it again and on Monday I got my first high school game this shit is sad 😕

@@_mubarak02 yea it’s not too bad, it’s actually weird because we was practicing and then I made a challenge and once I planted my foot and bended and so then I just went and sat down for like 10 minutes and then I continue to play and I was running and walking perfect and then I went walking home ( 1 hour walk ) and I wasn’t feeling no pain and then once I got home I just laid down and then like 1 hour later I get up and I felt pain and couldn’t walk

But if your happy to go ahead try see a physio before ur game and get professional acceptance to play bro

hey is your ankle all good now?
I slipped and fell down the stairs and seriously landed wrong. My ankle made a loud pop I instantly felt nauseous and knew I better not put any weight on it. Thanks to your video's 7 weeks later I am up and walking around almost normal. It lets me know when to sit back down a wait for the next day to start again. Each day after doing what I call your physical therapy suggestions I am able to accomplish more and more. Grateful for all your video's, Thank You Much Respect!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have the same experience. I fell from the stairs and my step got wrong and my second toe the longer one on the right foot has chip fracture my foot has been casted for 5 weeks and just removed 3 hours ago. Now i have still the pain because in 5 weeks my foot had no mobilization. I dont know when this foot totally be used because i cant walk with two feet. I hop like a bird with a walker.
I don't know I'm confused..icing or hot water soak?
It was raining really heavily in my city and I fell a total of 3 times since the roads were insanely slippery. The third time I fell, my ankle had enough and sprained. Found it difficult to stand up but this video is just what I needed. Thank you so much Doc.
i sprained my ankle while wresling with a friend. not great and took a second to happen. took me out of gym for a week and counting
damn.. i wouldve just sat there n cried. 3 TIMES???? youre a strong person
How are you now ?
You’re awesome man. Thanks for all the “to the point, no junk” information. SOLID!

There is actually a lot of misinformation in this video.
You can actually cure ankle in couple days. Definitely not using braces.
I watched lots of videos on it but no one gives perfect answer
But your videos better than others
Awesome thanks for the positive feedback! 😁
Thanks a lot Doctor, you just saved my left Leg Ankle and ligament.
While playing football, I flew so high to catch a football at the air and landed with my left foot imbalance and twisted. It hurts so bad 😭😭

@@aradhnakataria7704 im able to walk without sticks now but i cant walk normally i just put a little weight.What about u
Thank you for confirming what my gut feeling is that the body needs to rest and heal itself. So glad I found this before starting other exercises on previous videos I watched
two years ago, I had severe ankle sprain and tore the ligament. I did go to see the doctor they only X-ray and give me medicine to rest after that didn't do further. Now my ligament is forever injured and I can only build up my leg muscle to support it. I wish i was more careful on that day. That is the only regret I have in my whole life. Before, I have never thought having the uninjured body is such a blessing and cannot be exchanged with anything.
hey me too . i did not took much care at the time of injury. my ligament is also not healing . it's been 1yr 11 months. all i am doing is theraband exercises for now. Doctor said if exercises dosen't work then i should undergo surgery. But he said surgery might not be effective either.

Big tip here.. happend to my while doing flatground tricks too.. you have to go faster when practicing flatground tricks. Because when you fail you will fall and roll the energy out. If you are to slow all the gravity will go on your feets causing you to roll you ancle. Rather fall and roll out then twist you ancle.

I want to update my initial reaction to this video. I found it informative and concise, even when currently dealing with a swelling ankle. Thank you doctor.

We've got more detailed intros for you!
Thanks for the video, I rolled my ankle so badly at the gym this morning and watching this video puts me in further pain! Quite information of course, thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Best video I've watched for my twisted ankle.
Doc? I heard a pop when my ankle twisted, and now it so painful when I walk
So general advice not specific to you, if you hear a pop that can tend to mean an injury to the ligament. But at the same time it can just be clicking of your subtalar joint which may not be much. Be safe and get evaluated, especially if there is associated pain and swelling, hope you feel better!
deither jegs tumapon look at my video Youngboy
@@DrTomBiernacki What do you do if there is an injury to the ligament?
CikMJ It depends how bad it is. A grade 1 ankle sprain is just a stretch to the ligament and you should still be able to walk with very little pain. It should heal pretty fast. If it’s a grade 2 ankle sprain (partially torn ligaments) then you could be out of sports for 8 weeks, have trouble walking and in more pain. If it’s a grade 3 (full tear to the ligaments) then you could be out of sports for 3 months and you aren’t able to walk at all. Visit a doctor if you are unable to walk or are having trouble to walk as your ligaments could be torn. Also use the RICE method as well. Rest, Ice, Compress and Elevate. The RICE method can help reduce swelling but it won’t heal it. Hope this helps!
@@DrTomBiernacki i think i have problem. I did that to my foot on the side about 3-4 months ago, and my ankle cracks when i roll two times (when it's turned down and upper right, it also sometimes pain a bit when it's turned upper right). It don't pain when i walk or run. What should i do?
Thank you doc.
Love to all my sprain ankle buddies out there. Happy new year!
It’s been a month. I believe I have a grade 3 sprain because my ankle was swollen and very blue. As greedy and dumb as I was, I started playing basketball again 2 weeks after the injury. It felt fine for about 30 minutes but after that I couldn’t bear the pain. Decided to take a few days off. Came back the week after. This time I could play for an hour before I had to go off. Today I decided I’ll take next week off from basketball practice and begin doing more rehabilitation exercises.
Good luck to anyone going through an ankle injury. Make sure to rest enough and don’t go back to exercising too quickly!
How long did it take you to recover I’m 4 weeks in I’m walking kind off but get a lot of shooting pain around my ankle
Thanks, makes a whole lot of sense. Exactly how my doctor instructed me...
Great, we are happy you have a great doctor and hope you are feeling better!

Barely into this video a minute and it already explained and broke down everything that I needed to know.

@ThatOne Facts I wanna know lol
I kept reading articles of ankle sprains and my ankle sprains feels lose and feels weird when I put it down. There was no bruising but big swelling. I felt relief after this. I was also told that grade 3 takes 3 months of more to heal and I really though I had a grade three because I have basketball camp 😭
Doc I got done dirty I for sure had a phase 3 sprain from work as a truck loader (on feet ALL day) and they made me come back after 2 DAYS! Consider seeing a specialist now cause my ankle pops followed by pain when rotating my ankle outwards

64 yrs old, woke up w twisted ankle! So painful and swollen day 1and 2 I wasn't sure what or where it hurt. I can walk very slowly, very painfully but on edge of my foot short distances to bathroom and kitchen with support ,backs of chairs etc. A cane isn't much help. I've been alternating ice and heat but it's still very swollen so I'll just use ice for the next few days so thankyou for this.
How is your ankle now and how long did it take to recover? I’m one month and still have slight swelling around ankle joint however I did have a very bad strain
Thank you man, I’ve felt this pain in my ankle for the past couple of days and this video really helped, was playing football and I planted my foot to turn and it happened so thank you
This was so helpful! I guess I got a stage 3 afterall😪. I fell in a small hole so stepped down and then rolled my ankle, it was swollen and bruised (but not as much as the picture). I stayed off of it and elevated/let it rest but I’ll look into the boot to help. Ive been having a lot of swelling in the back ligament so I hope this helps. I’ll just really take it easy. Thank you!
Sounds like a pretty tough sprain, hope you start feeling better soon!

That's why I love UA-cam and social media. It connects you to the information we want, whenever. My son sprained both ankles and was diagnosed with soft tissue injury. He still can't stand or walk for 2 weeks
Very helpful. Thank you for visual of drawing on the ankle. It helped me to show my child and get a better understanding of where their pain was located. Strangely my child had ankle pain but no visible swelling in this case. Looks like the ATFL now.

I did a hyper extended toe touch at cheer practice in high school and landed right on my left ankle and it bent sideways and I heard a pop. Couldn’t walk for the rest for the rest of the day. I healed maybe after 2 months. Worst injury ever 😂(out of all my other ones). I had to walk to the bus and around school the day after the Injury happened . You could imagine the pain I was going through. But I’m fine now! It was years ago haha😂.
Ach. I have hEDS. I have no idea how many times my ankles have gotten sprained over the years. I wish this info was readily available in the 1980s, when my younger self needed the advice -- instead of being in the school nurse's office every 2 weeks. Thank you!

The right message on the right time. I just sprained my ankle and heard pop then swollen. Thanks for the detailed information it gives me relief.
Thanks for the informative video! Really put my mind at ease. I recently rolled my foot playing football and heard a loud snap. Almost Instantly the pain started to kick in to the point where I couldn’t put much weight on it without pain. The next day was far better and I could limp around pretty pain free as long as I didn’t press too hard. Day 3 was even better, I could almost walk normally with minimal pain. Do you reckon this falls under the stage 1 sprain ?
Glad you are starting to feel better!
@@DrTomBiernacki given what i just said, would you expect this to be a type 1 sprain? of course you couldn't comment accurately from behind a computer screen but i would just like a good idea of what to expect.
@@Jake-xn9xk Rescue Medic here (and one year too late). The snap very much sounds like Grade 2 or 3. The first is a overstretched Ligament with minor tearing that wont cause any snapping sounds that will be heard without a stethoscope. Type 2 and 3 are major to full tears that will cause ligament injuries to be recognizable by sound.
@@BOMERdeath123 How do you listen for that? We have a stethoscope here.
I heard a crack for sure the moment I injured it, I freaked out that I broke my foot, but there is no bruising. I could not put any weight on it the first day, and I was scared to at all the next day (wanted to give time to heal just in case). There is definite swelling plus pain/tenderness when I brush my fingers just lightly over the ATFL area. Tomorrow I want to try and really gradually add a little weight/practice a little and literally only once or twice every few hours. I’m definitely scared of re-injuring.
@@Arkenva No Stethoscope needed. It's a audible Snap/Crack Sound.
You very much likely have a Second to Third degree Sprain, especially the weight issue confirms that.
Don't use your leg for at least a week. Keep it elevated above the heart, use Diclofenac, compression bandages and cooling.
To be clear: if you have an injury go see a doctor! This is not meant to replace the advice of your doctor! If you twisted your ankle up and out, you night have a high ankle sprain! Check out our "high ankle" sprain treatment guide! ua-cam.com/video/1RjlOWVvfn8/v-deo.html

Same but it happened Friday 29th I was running across the road I almost got ran overd i almost fell in the snow and my foot went bent back ouch
I recently rolled my ankle (last Saturday) while hiking. It's something that I re-injured, but this time was different. I ended up hiking back out to my truck with minimal pain. My ankle was swollen and bruised (a little tender) and I could bear weight on it without sharp pains. My ankle felt stable, had good range of motion in every direction. There is some pain when doing calf stretches, but it's not intolerable. I have been doing PRICE since the incident. I'm reluctant to go in because last time this happened and was recovering, my PCM didn't seem to be worried as long as I was progressing and not in pain. So, It's weird that it looked worse than how it feels. Again, I can stand on the injured foot and balance fine, I can do calf raises fine and rotate my ankle up/down, left/right. Last time this happened a few months ago, it felt worse and I was less stable...any thoughts? Oh, I played softball on it 4 days later and felt fine (used ASO brace for stability/protection).
We find chronic and continuing pain is usually not the ligament that was injured, but stiffness through the ankle and Achilles tendon from compensating (pronating). There is many thing it can be, but at the same time soreness can take a few months to go away completely! If worried get some professional assistance!
3 months ago i got a 3 grade sprain i totally blackout somes says it because of my nerve got dislocated but today i got to know what happened that day
And after all this days months i still have pain in my foot 😭 now i will apply ice

Suffered a grade 3 ankle injury with 2 torn ligaments. Was put in a tall walking boot for the first 3 months and told to stay off of it for those 3 months and was told to sleep in this boot for that amount of time. Went back to get reevaluated and had to keep it in the boot boot for 2 months. Now I can walk in the moonboot with some help off my crutches crutches. Doctor said my x-rays look really good so I can come out of the moonboot for about a hour or so on the mornings than again in the evening for the same amount of time and that I can wear a shoe when I'm out the boot. Going thru my first week of physical therapy.

I wouldn't worry about your ankle taking longer to heal at all, as long as it doesn't get worse. I had a severe 3rd degree ankle sprain (torn ligament, bone chips), and even with a bulky brace and several months of physical therapy, my ankle still felt stiff and painful. Turns out it simply needed TIME to heal due to the bad injury (It's fine now).
Three things I learned: 1) For me a phy therapist massaging the ankle joint was like heaven, helping so much with the stiffness and scar tissue (but probably too soon for you yet). 2) Don't rush back to sports or activities too soon! I kept thinking I "should" be healed by now, but clearly wasn't ready yet, and suffered several setbacks, wasting valuable healing time. With injuries, always err on the side of caution. 3) Many people (myself included) who suffer a bad ankle sprain seem to re-sprain the same ankle. It might be due to the ankle being weaker now, or still not comfortable with it in activities, but it's something to be aware of.
Anyway, good luck, you'll be good to go in no time!
@@markb20 hi bro its been exactly one month for my sprained ankle and i still cant put weight in it.Do u think i should start visit a phisical therapist and also start doing some exercise for it
@@m4teoff384 Hey dude, sorry to hear about your injury. I'm guessing you either had x-rays to rule out a break, or just have improved enough to know it's not broken, right? I would check with your doc or a phy therapist about that, really.
Even when I started phy therapy (after my cast came off), there was this aggressive therapist that moved my foot around so much it f-king hurt like hell! I complained, another therapist helped me using gentler exercises (and deep tissue massage, which was incredible), and I was able to start my own exercises at home.
I guess without knowing how bad your ankle is (1st, 2nd 3rd degree sprain? 1st degree is a stretching of the ligament, 2nd is partial tearing, 3rd degree- what I had- is a complete tear. They can usually tell by the amount of swelling, dark bruising showing up, and how much pain). Can you put weight on it without pain? I remember that was something they looked at. Pain- especially pain that doesn't improve- usually means you still need time to heal. But there is ALSO the danger of letting too much scar tissue form if the ligament tore. And that's where physical therapy comes in. Along with trying to make the ankle stronger again, they want to try to break up the scar tissue "adhesions" that form in a tear. That's where you need a doctor or therapist- to figure out if your injury has healed enough to start moving it around to make it strong again.
Sorry this is so long- people love talking about their old injuries!
Last thing- I remember people telling me when they heard I ripped my ankle ligament, "You would have been better off just breaking a bone". They were right. Soft tissue injuries suck- they can take longer to heal completely, depending on how bad it is.
Anyway, good luck, no doubt you'll be good as new in no time!
@@markb20 Very relatable bro fr😭
Yes i did make a x-rays and the doc said that it wasnt broken and then he said that “it would have been better if u broke it”
Im not sure if i have a 2 or 3 grade tho but i think its a bad 2 grade.I havent really felt any pain except the first 5 days when i used to feel some pain but i think it was because of a cream i used to supply.
Well i cant really put weight on my leg rn.If i put weight it feels like my ankle will move out of its place,i can put just a little weight tho.
So i think its a very bad 2 grade sprained ankle as I would feel more pain right?
Btw it can heals without a surgery?
Thanks bro and would love to hear more from u
I rolled my ankle 4 months ago. Rested it for 10 weeks with physiotherapy I was back to sport. First game back to football I rolled it again and it’s forever felt weak. What course of action or stage would you recommend I start at? I can walk fine on the ankle but it just feels very weak, and MRI scan confirmed the sprain. Cheers
Ouch ya that is tough, unfortunately the answer is always to get it evaluated and imaged by a specialist to know if anything is going on. It's hard to say without doing these things. We really hope you feel better soon!
THIS VIDEO IS SO HELPFUL RIGHT NOW 😭

If reasonable, we would appreciate a quick rating from you, and a good rating makes a MASSIVE difference for us!

Question: How do you feel about the method that a lot of top athletes use if they arent getting surgery which is to safely utilize the ankles mobility as soon as possible after injury. This usually includes very light resistance as long as no pain is felt
Ikr
This vid should be deleted
You mean like walking? I have heard that if possible, one should use proper walking technique after a sprain as soon as possible, also so it heals properly.
If you feel no pain, then why would you not get mobile?!? It means it already healed up enough that you can start using your ankle again.
I've twisted my ankle(s) so many times it's ridiculous...it seems after you twist it once it just keeps happening. Anyway, one thing I've found works almost miraculously is comfree gel. It speeds up the healing process by days if not weeks. That said, icing and compression is obviously a must.
Same here as far as repeat sprains to my left ankle. I had a severe 3rd degree sprain (torn ligament/bone chips) after running down stairs full speed and hitting the last stair wrong. I will never forget the "crack" I heard, convinced I broke my foot. Turns out it was the ligament snapping apart.
For me the one thing that seemed to help so much was a physical therapist massaging the ankle joint, which seemed to speed up the healing, and got me back faster to running and sports.
(Sorry about the length; you know how it is when people start talking about their injuries!)
That's so true it seems once you sprain your ankle it weakens it and it keeps happening. I rolled my ankle on November 6 and fell breaking my elbow which required surgery. But my ankle is still tender and after listening to his video it should have been healed already! Next appointment I will let my primary know
Good stuff! Thank you very much… my first instinct was to massage and stretch little by little but I see now that’s the most common mistake! 🙏🏼💕
I just rolled my ankle today and will a ace bandage that is put on correctly help if I keep it on for the first 2 days?
Not specific to you(and disclaimer to get it checked out), we find the ace bandage does not provide that much support or compression.
Imma try the voodoo bands
I won't.adires
I rolled it the opppsite way, ankle out rather than rolling in as shown in the start of the video. Pain around the the inside of the foot at the ankle rather than outside.
Great simple explanation, straight to the point. Wow, my doctor started me immediately on PT and straight back to work. Now I am told I have two torn ligaments and a fracture after two months!!! What happened?
We really appreciate that you came to us for help and we really wish we could help and see you in person. Unfortunately there are rules preventing an answer online, and this could be dangerous to your without having specific information.
A problem of this nature really does require a proper history and physical. By getting non-specific advice online, it really can make your problem worse.
For a problem this complex and with so many variables, you really would benefit most from seeing a podiatrist in person.

I cringe each time I watch these ankle sprain videos; I was running down stairs full speed, left foot caught the last stair wrong, and heard a loud "crack" as I fell to the ground. I thought I broke it, but was told later it was the ligament(s) tearing apart. Had a "severe" 3rd degree sprain- 2 torn ligaments with bone chips (about 10 years ago).
They were on the fence about surgery (mostly to remove the bone chips); I opted for a hard cast for 1-2 months, then 3 months of physical therapy with a walking brace. I also received steroid injections into the ankle joint. All told, 6 months to heal, but it took a year to get back to my running again, and several years for the ankle stiffness to get better.
I received all kinds of advice for a severe 3rd degree ankle injury like I had, but among the best- while healing, don't say you sprained the ankle- people think of "twisted" ankles. Say you tore the ligament(s), which gives them a better idea of what happened. 2) The physical therapy was great, but without a doubt the ankle/ligaments massage was like Nirvana! Helped with the stiffness and scar tissue so much. 3) If involved with sports, don't rush back, and don't let others (always your "buddies") try to hurry you back to play. I had several setbacks due to giving in.
If I only knew then what I know now... (the story of my life!).
So I'm stupid and was attempting to jump over this chair and the last step before I jumped, my ankle did a whole 90 degrees curve and I got veryyyy light headed and was very swollen 10 seconds after the injury, I could not walk on it the first day but by second day it was feeling much better but still with a limp. The third day, It was bruised the most. Like there was a line of bruising parallel with my feet and my whole foot was a couple of shades darker. Its been exactly a week now and I walk with no pain but when I try to full extend my ankle out, It hurts on my third ligament that you said usually doesn't get hurt, and also the first ligament ( which still has a bump of soreness on it) Should I be worried or just give it a week of rest?

Hi Dr. Tom, I just stumbled across your presentation and found it very informative!
My 14 year old daughter badly sprained her ankle playing football 11 days ago, and I think it was either a grade 2 or maybe even grade 3 sprain. She heard an audible 'crack' as did the referee from 5 meters away, and we ended up taking her to A&E (we are based in the UK). Following an x-ray, the doctor confirmed it was not broken but was not very helpful in terms of a specific diagnosis or methods of recovery / healing.
Her ankle did not swell too much or bruise immediately, and we used plenty of elevation and ice (R.I.C.E), in the first few days as she walked around on crutches when attending school. She started putting weight on it after 4 days and even more so this past weekend which led to some slight swelling and purple bruising below the fibula which seems to have dissipated again. She is now only using one crutch at school and has slight swelling by the end of the day which is gone in the morning. We have also been using a UV lamp for the past few evenings to try and help repair some of the internal damage.
We are due to go on a snowboarding trip on the 27th February, where she will be strapped into bindings and boots which support the ankle. Is it realistic to think it will have healed sufficiently by then, or is it an unachievable goal? In the meantime, I am going to purchase the McDavid Light Ankle Brace and POWERLIX Ankle Support Brace for her to use.
Many Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide regarding the snowboarding trip!
Get an MRI and check whats goin on inside so that you can get a proper treatment by ortho
@@vive928 Thankyou!

Hello doc, so about everyday i go outside i play basketball in my backyard, And also everyday i end up rolling my ankle ( im very clumsy ). But today when i rolled it, it was different. I heard a pop when i landed, and went straight to the ground. Unlike the other ones i was there for a good 1-2 minutes. When i walk now it hurts severely on my ankle, and right below it it is very swollen. Should i go to the doctor or is it fine ?
We would love to help you with your foot and ankle problem, but a complex problem like this really does require in depth evaluation and imaging to make a proper diagnosis. We wish we could do more for you!
We would be doing you a disservice with general advice for such an important issue. Your podiatrist or primary care doctor can likely help much more than we can in this instance.
Thank you for watching and being a fan! We are working every day to help people with better education and information.
Twisted mine two days ago, yesterday was pretty red and swollen. Not it barely hurts, however I cannot move it minimally. In 2 weeks time I need to run 1,5 mile or basically my life is finished. I'm praying, healing, resting, elevating and compressing religiously. I need to find a way and shoot my shot
Watching this after an intense game of spike ball!
Ouch!
I was running from the police and jumped over a fence landed on my right foot and now im here i want to Recover fast for training
Got my ankle sprained this morning. I had a lot of history of ankle sprain. I really need to take care of it now. Most people just brush it out saying it’ll be fine in a couple of days. Turns out my ankle will never go back the same

Thanks for watching and we hope you feel better soon!
We appreciate you as a fan, check with a doctor if not improving!
I woke up and slipped on some dirty clothes I had forgot to put away. I'm never leaving stuff out again. I'm a changed man now.
So I rolled my ankle playing ball, it feels like i tore, a ligament or tendent. What do I do? If doesn’t hurt when I’m sitting, when I get up tho it’s pretty bad. How do I know what I did, and what should I do?....
We appreciate the comment it it is difficult to say without a further examination, hope you feel better soon!
I had the same problem a week ago. When I was sitting I could rest it on the floor but when I stood up I could barley put any weight on it and it was very painful. However its been a week now and I'm able to walk on my foot with it pointed slightly sideways but still needs some rest. I'm able to put more weight on it but can't balance on 1 leg yet. I'd guess you have a grade 2 sprain as I injured mine basically in the same way and faced the same problems.
I went to a foot and ankle 'specialist ' recently having rolled in and sprained both my ankles within three months of eachother.
Since this I haven't regained the confidence in my ankles as they're very weak.
The specialist didn't touch my ankles once in a 45 min consultation and went on a hard sell for inserts/insoles . This, I believe, is not a long term healing remedy, rather a long term patch job.
Having watched this i totally understand the anatomy of the ankle and I'll continue to rebuild ,hopefully I'll dance the Cha Cha someday again and not have to worry about going out the 'side door'😂😂😂
Got a grade 2 sprain and tryouts are tomorrow in like 2 weeks what do I do I need help
kris grey I’ve got a grade 1 sprain but my dance comp is in a month and I need to dance in pointe shoes for my dance...
I don’t know if you ended up going to tryouts but it’s better off letting it heal properly like how he said. I had a grade 3 ankle sprain last year and got injured 2 times after because I didn’t let it heal correctly
Rest

Its been 10 days since i sprained my ankle , no pain , a little bit swelling , i can walk , feels painful at some stretches , but is it okay that swelling hasnt went down ?
Usually swelling and pain is a tough combo, we find if patients are in pain, they definitely need to stabilize a while longer!
With swelling and pain always err on the sing of caution!
swelling usually means there is still and injury.
I was walking and busy talking and didnt see a dip in the side walk and went over on my ankle.. thank u so much for this info and u were so good in explaining as some videos never get to the point...thank u so much....
Thank you. Your the first one to keeping it real!!!

Thanks again for watching!
Hi Doc, Ive sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago now. Im able to walk/run and move my ankle now but there is still minor swelling around the ankle and can't quite see the bones yet. I really miss playing basketball do you think it is good to mobilize it and run even though there is still a little bit of swelling?
We would love to be able to give you a more specific answer, but unfortunately we cannot do so.
These are very complex medical problems that do require specific evaluation in both physical and imaging modalities. Please see a podiatrist near you for further evaluation.
We really do appreciate you as a fan and we hope to bring you more detailed videos that help more in the future!
Think of a sprained ankle as two phases: 1) Initially control the inflammation and pain, 2) You have to keep it protected to let the ankle heal.
A really important thing to remember is just because stuff makes it feel better, it does not mean the ankle is healed!
If you have a high ankle sprain, watch this guide: ua-cam.com/video/1RjlOWVvfn8/v-deo.html
Does a chiropractor help about a grade 3 sprained I feel like my ankle needs to a line.
Sure, everyone can contribute and help!
Should you just buy a brace over the counter or should you try to have it fitted? The laced ones look hard core. Some tell me they are super tight.
In agony with a Grade III, never seen so much bruising in my life!😱
Best video I have found so far. Fell off a bouldering problem in my rock gym and trying to remedy this thing asap. Thanks for the info.
Haha, same. My gym told me to try using it as much as possible though, so i did and now im scared ive treated it wrong. Its been three weeks now, and its still kinda sore. How long did it take you to get back on the wal? Are you scared of jumping down now? Im honestly so scared of going back, i dont wanna go through that again.
@@TheCatiduso I think it’s normal for it to be sore. You should probably only do things that don’t hurt to minimize further pain and inflammation. I wouldn’t be taking gym advice without a grain of salt. I would follow the advice of this video to ensure further injury doesn’t occur. Best of luck to you.
Sprained my ankle but it's the inside of the foot that hurts not the outside even though rolled it on the outside...anybody else have that pain?
I have that pain too. It's so bothersome.
We can't get too specific o line, but in general consider posterior tibial tendon pain!
Absolutely, this can possibly be posterior tibial tendon pain, consider that this can occur with a foot that flattens out too much!
Consider that these injuries can get better with more support like a good shoe, insert or brace!
Vinoth Rajadurai yeah I’m really in pain and i wanna walk normal but i can’t and my heel hurts too and my ankle is blocked i can’t move it
I sprained my ankle like a good almost 2 months ago , Nd it looks normal now but I tried running Nd like it hurts to run like if I step too hard I feel pain in the middle of my foot. do I still need to give it more time heal?
Can't give specific advice, but we find pain still means injury!
Littkxddo - how do you feel now ?
Are you good now ?
imad ghazal Yes I am thanks for asking. Been good for a good few months
Littkxddo - ✊
This is my third time, had two major sprain, and week before had light injury. I was able to get back after one week. Ordered ankle brace with plastic side supports. Next time i play, i definitely wear them.
Thanks for this helpful video. I agree with 99% of what you're saying, BUT massage, when done at the appropriate phase of healing, CAN in fact help increase blood flow to ligaments/tendons and improve healing. Many studies out there demonstrating this
You are 100% correct, in the acute setting it is generally just too painful, massage is amazing for longer term subacute or chronic recovery. It will improve flexibility and blood flow, but I meant it more in terms of initial injury. Thanks for your input!
Who experience this when playing volleyball. 😢
Ouch! 🤕

This is the best video explaining the typical ankle sprain I've seen. I just tore all three of those ligaments but the weird part is very little pain and I was walking around on it for the first couple days (out i wilderness away from medical treatment). the bruising is atrocious and my doctor gasped at that and the swelling, but I don't even have a limp. Xray came back no acute fractures or malalignment so no idea why I am not in agony (compared to other bad sprains I've had that were not as severe as this but caused intense pain).
im watching this after luka doncic injury
Sounds like he should be back at it in 2-3 weeks! Great player for sure!
