Patient's question:
Main symptoms: Onset time: Sprained ankle in the morning, slight swelling, able to walk, a bit sore. What medicine should I use? I'm still changing diapers, and the medicine shouldn't affect the baby.Doctor's answer:
Ligaments are connections between two bones. There are two common types of ligament sprains: lateral ligament sprain of the ankle, which is commonly referred to as twisting an ankle; and ligament sprain of the knee. The injured area of a ligament sprain may reappear with swelling and blood clots. Ligament sprains occur when external force causes the joint to move beyond its normal physiological range, resulting in the stretching or complete tearing of the ligaments around the joint. This is known as a joint ligament sprain. After a joint ligament sprain, the local area will experience swelling, pain, tenderness, and visible bruised areas if there is subcutaneous skin damage.
