Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Since the normal angle of ankle inversion is much larger than that of eversion, when twisting an ankle, it is usually twisted inward, with the injured area being the lateral malleolus. Many people first rub the painful area vigorously, then soak their feet in hot water to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling, and finally walk and move around while enduring the pain, in order to avoid "storing tendons." However, practice has shown that this approach to treating a twisted ankle is not appropriate.
