This video also will help you
great video. 24yp footballer from Trinidad here and I sprained my ankle this evening for the first tome ever. Wasn’t sure how if it was broken or anything but this video helped me a LOT!. A MILLION THANKS!
Glad it helped!
Very detailed and clearly explained. Thank you for this.
I sprained my ankle (actually foot) 2 weeks ago. Initially it wasn’t that swollen but I could not physically walk on it even a step after I hobbled home. I tried icing it but it was making the pain worse. Later that day I went and got an x-ray and sure enough have a little avulsion fracture off the anterior calcaneus. It got more and more swollen and bruised over the next 2 days and could not physically weight bear for 3 days even in a cam boot. I’ve been told now I can walk on it and have weaned off the cam boot now. I still limp and my calf size is so much smaller now. My mobility of the ankle is almost back to normal in plantar flexion and dorsiflexion. It’s painful still with some inversion and eversion movements with weight bearing but even this is improving. I have a physio appointment this afternoon and hoping to be moving onto strengthening! Such a frustrating process as a usually very active individual!
Same thing like rn i just sprained my ankle
If you were a horse you would have been shot.
@@ellenoremitio637 How do you feel now? Would you like additional help or are you all healed? I can help you with full rehab if you want.
I’m also going through the same thing right now and it truly is a frustrating thing being an active individual and your daily activities are limited or disrupted. :/ hope all is well
That sounds so inconvenient, so I just cut my foot off....which didn't make my calf smaller at all.
Greetings from Pretoria. Sprained my left ankle during a doubles squash game yesterday after recovering from a 12 week right ankle sprain. I will need your videos more to continue doing sports after 50!
This video was really good, and just what I was looking for! I appreciate so much, all the thorough and detailed descriptions of the foot and ankle anatomy, and all of the types of injuries that can occur. It really helped me in a big way.
About 16 months ago, I injured my ankle in such a way, that has caused me to be continuously impaired, as it still has not healed correctly, and some days I can barely walk. It is especially hard when I first get out of bed and sometimes additional pain in the evening.
What has made things more complicated, are a few pre-existing problems I had prior to (what I believe to be a sprain based on the descriptions I learned of in this video) to the actual and most recent sprain incident.
I put off going to the doctor, because I had just moved from one state to another, and in a new town/city, and it was during the tail end of all the C19 nonsense and all the disturbing Gestapo-like forceful pressuring of people to get injected with an untested toxin as some kind of requirement in order to resume with our lives. It was and still is, a very creepy situation, as we do not get granted "rights" nor does government get to remove them in the name of "safety". Then use every way to imaginable to coerce people into taking this injection, with an unnatural and contrived urgency that to me, more and more came to resemble what I saw as a deception. Everything about it was highly suspicious. The conflicting information that constantly changed, the labeling people as spreading misinformation or cutting people out of the use of social media if you asked questions or shared your doubts to others. Then the (US) government and other major health agencies (you know the ones) decided to make other medications and treatments that were KNOWN TO BE EFFECTIVE AND SAFE, and made them practically inaccessible. Also Highly suspicious! They collectively continued to push this injection as leverage if we wanted "normalcy" to return, but never gave consistent answers to legitimate concerns. I could go on and on, even more than I have, though I'm sure you get the idea, as to why I was terrified to go to a hospital. I simply was not going to be a "lab rat" in their creepy experiment. It makes no sense, and can actually be harmful, if you take a "preventative injection" when you've already had that particular ailment. You don't get a shot for chicken pox for example, after you've already had it. Doctors know this, yet these "authorities" did not care, and that is clearly something that is wrong, and only adds to the suspicion when you see such "deliberate incompetence".
To make a long story substantially shorter, I had the good fortunate of finding a good place to go to,and very close to my home, that specializes in podiatric issues and conditions, to get a better look at why my ankle is so damaged, now that some of the viral hype has dissipated. I feel I have a small window of opportunity before "they" attempt another planned threat.
I've spent over a year in pain most of the time, and I'm completely sick of it, and with not knowing exactly what is wrong with me or what to do about it. I could never seem to find any answers that made sense, until this video. This has been so helpful considering all the obstacles and uncertainty.
Thank you so very much for helping to clarify the missing puzzle pieces of my problem so I can be more at ease with the direction I need to take, and with more accurate knowledge to better allow me to find a solution to my on going impairment. An impairment, I definitely want to be free of.. it's been a painful and frustrating journey with no end in sight until now.
I sincerely thank you~
Million thanks for making this video and more importantly making it accessible without having to pay unlike other channels that tells you all the good things you can do but leaves you halfway when you’re in real pain!! 🙏 GOD bless you!!
Glad it helped!
I spained my ankle on the Saturday when jogging. There was lots of pain on Saturday and Sunday. Interesting information! Thank you!
Wow! Much better than I would have ever expected from an urgent care visit. Thanks for the push for guidence to see a physio for a more specific remediation.
👍this is very helpful and comes in handy for my sprained left ankle - which happened yesterday and started swelling immediately.thanks
My toes feel numb...twisted and landed on the side of my foot. I can't stand...excruciating pain on side of foot. You are amazing and so patient..
You heald and how much time it takes
I twisted my ankle yesterday and I heard a pop, so I bandaged and iced it, but I twisted it again this morning getting out of bed. Do you guys think it’s broken or just sprained? I can barely walk on it or move it.
@@slimegirl4099 hi how is your ankle doing?
Thank you soo much,i myself am a student in med school,trying to become a physiotherapist.
So this helps me a lot!
Best of luck!
Possibly the most helpful video I’ve ever seen on TH-cam - thank you!
You're very welcome!
This video is an excellent resource for a sprained ankle! I found it to be very informative. Thank You!
Thank you so much for a really clear explanation of what to do. My husband had suggested strapping up my ankle but now I understand what to do.
Thanks so much ... I started off with a 5th metatarsal fracture , later found out got a fully ruptured AITFL and stretched ATFL. 5TH week ATM, moonboot outside, no moonboot inside. Hospital hasn't given me any physio yet so I'm following your videos. Was ok except for walking on toes... I felt I needed to let my heel down each step with my injured foot. But other than that I feel it's helping! I'm just listening to my body.. if I feel pain, I stop. Hopefully this will help me recover faster . Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing, and good luck with your recovery!
The most complete guide for ankle recup! Thank u so much.
You're so welcome!
Thanks for keeping this simple!! I looked at another video and it wasn’t helpful. The closeup visuals were a plus!! Thank u!!
Glad it was helpful!
Best video ever ! You made me feel relieved because I had broken my ankle last year and I have 11 screws and I tripped like a week ago and my ankle is painful but now I know it’s not broken.
Hello
Hiii
I am sorry , yes I know ankle broken is very painful , I broke my ankle 2 months ago still I am in cast boot can’t walk but I have 2 screws only after sury

An hour ago I went to buy a pair of hiking boots with high hopes that it will protect me from injuries, on the way home I fell off my bicycle and sprained a foot... Also, this is the first time I cycled without a helmet... lol... isn't it ironic?! Now I'm here learning a life lesson😅

Thank you. You are better than doctors.
I injured my ankle and broken forearm in a bike accident and had a cast for 3 weeks for my leg without surgery and ORIF surgery for firearm. Today the POP cast was removed and i can feel stiffness in the leg and feel like a dead ankle and i can't move it and can't bear any weight.
Thank you so much for the informative video🤠🎉
I hope it will fix my ankle.
Glad you found the video informative!
i sprained my ankle, 5 weeks ago, and JUST found this video, and everything you said to do in this video, I did pretty much everything mentioned, but my ankle is still kind of weak so I'm still working with it. :).
Yes, it can take 12 weeks or longer to regain full strength.
Mine ballooned 2 days ago had x-ray they think it's a tendon pulled off no fracture
Thank you do Much for this Information.. God bless You
Thank you for this.
I hope i can use this to my friend had an injury because of sprain or strain.
You're a good friend😊
@@jtb2718 ♥️
Maturnuwun yo mbak🙏👍❤️
Best video I’ve found ….Excellent.
Thanks for watching!
Sprained my ankle, i lost my balance going down the stairs and bent the ankle inwards ( the most common injury ) and came back up from that position. Hand helped too late.
It immediately hurt a lot but stopped after a few minutes. I could normally walk for almost an hour and then it began to swell and be painful, and after 2 hours i was completely unable to even touch the ground with the injured foot !
Its almost my 2nd week now, still cant walk its swollen and so annoying, cant sleep deep into the night cause of the pain and discomfort ( awake till 2-4am )
Grade 2 injury btw, probably 2+ i bet.
I cant wait to finally start training the ankle to be able to do normal things i do and sport!!!! 😢
This video was very informative
Thanks for sharing, and good luck with your recovery!
@SportsInjuryPhysio thanks! Forgot to say that the doctor said after Roentgen analysis, I have partial rupture of LFTA and LFC ligaments. I believe that is high end of Grade 2 or what you think? I have no bruises
Thank you so much!!!!! Helped me so much
Glad it helped!
Very well explained. Thank you
I sprained my left foot 3 times in like a month during my basketball season, hopin this helps
Thank you 🙏 you make total sense to me 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wow our joints are amazing aren't they and some say we came around by chance, or were we actually designed? 🤔 thanks for yr information.
Millions and millions of years of evolution have created complex ankles and joints in us and many other creatures!
Very helpful! Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for such a thorough explanation. Really helpful.
Thanks
I put a compression sock on and then folded it back over to secure my foot and help the swelling. Feels better than the boot.
That’s what the physio doctor gave me I’m on crutches now
I sprained my ankle playing tennis. Been nursing it for 3.5 weeks now.. the outer bone you mentioned is not super painful when I press it just tender (other areas are fine). I have not gotten it check out tho. I have been doing RICE method and gentle yoga daily 30-45 mins to mobilize that area. Getting better but still not 💯. Would love your recommendation for next move.. TY
Hi there,

I sprained my ankle about 9 months ago. I used some medicine. Spray and pills. But my ankle is still a bit swollen and different from the ankle of the other foot. Do you think my ankle will ever be the same as before? What do you suggest I do?

I have sprained my right ankle 5 weeks ago. Doctor said it is a severe ankle sprain but no fracture. I was put on a cast for 4 weeks. Then, cast was removed and I started walking with crutches. Yesterday I walked alone (no crutches) and everything was fine except that I still feel pain. Swelling has reduced significantly (there is almost no swelling). Is it normal to feel pain and should I keep walking on it or not ?
Yes, severe sprains can take 12 to 16 weeks to fully heal. Make sure you also do exercises to restore your control and strength around the ankle. A physiotherapist can provide you with a rehab plan but here are also some ideas: th-cam.com/video/cm0oGeEWDOg/w-d-xo.html
@@SportsInjuryPhysio So, is it recommended that I keep walking on it ? Or shall I rest it until it heals completely ? I am not intending to run or do physical activities, I just want to walk so that I can resume my life.
Excellent. Thank you!!🎉
Welcome!
@@SportsInjuryPhysio still replying after 5 years lol
God bless you
Thanks alot
Excellent ! Soo Helpful and step by step detailed Explanation .... Thank you
Hows your ankle
Very good advice, thanks a lot❣️👍😀
You’re welcome 😊
I sprained my ankle while hiking and I had to go back for 5 miles. It swell immediately after injury and was extremely stiff. I tricked myself into thinking it didn’t hurt and now I can’t move it, I put ice on and the freezing gel. I don’t know what to do 💀
Go to the doctor and get an xray just to make sure nothing is broken
Walking it off is the fastest way to help ik from experience
You need to go to a podiatrist first and get X-Rays to make sure you don't have a fracture. If you only have a sprain with no fracture then you can do rehab which will lead to full recovery. I highly suggest you try HEM. Don't use the RICE method that is so common, it doesn't work.
Same happened with me!
@@payallahoti8064 Just now? You just got a sprained ankle right now?
I just sprained my left ankle and I need advice on how to treat it
How's going? Was it very bad?
Well do you still need help or are you okay? Let me know if you still need help.
Hope we all get better 👍
Thank you very much from Egypt
You are absolutely brilliant ! Dr Kijewski
Thanks for this.. i will help a lot.. many thanks bro.
Happy to help
Excellent work ❤️🤝👍
Thank you!
Very useful information as m looking forward to recovery.
Am very greatful for this info thank you❤
So glad!
I am a teacher and sprained my ankle a year ago while coming down the stairs. Xray showed no fracture but MRI showed inflammatory synovitis with mild ankle joint effusion. I had no option to quit the job at that time, so I took no rest and kept working all days. I used to get cramps and pain while standing, walking, climbing stairs and swelling by the end of the day. The injury became more serious and I had to quit the job. It's been almost 2 months now I have been resting at home. But still I can't walk properly and my ankle shows stiffness, redness, swelling and burning pain. I can climb the stairs but can't go down the stairs easily. It really hurts. I feel hopeless and helpless thinking that my ankle has been permanently damaged. Not understanding what to do.... totally fed up now.☹️😫
It may help if you have it assessed by a physio so that you can get treatment advice and a plan to help you recover. All injuries can heal, even if they have been neglected for a while.
Unfortunately I have sprained my ankle mulitple times. Last week being the third one 😅.
Great video! Ottawa rules failed me tho. Not meeting the criteria, I waited 3 days then went to a podiatrist at my mom's insistence. She x-rayed my ankle and found I had broken my talus (wedge-shaped slightly displaced distal dorsal fx).
Thanks for sharing!
You are the real ❤️
Apparently sprained ankle while sleeping. No bruise nor swelling, but it is very painful. Who knew sleeping could be hazardous.
This is very usefull. Thank you!

Brilliant video 👍
Great video! Thanks.
Thanks for the information
I was just doing leg workout in gym and unfortunately I fell down and my ankle got rolled 😭it hurts so bad
Perfect ,detailed information .
Thanks.God bless you abundantly:)
I can't put any weight on my left foot 😥 its a sprain based on xray. My foot is numb and swollen 😥 I don't see a bruise.
That honestly sounds like a hairline break
the same thing is happening to me. along with like the muscles in my foot randomly spasming and shaking
@@5tamika I'm grateful to say its better today and Im tempted to agree to the hairline break. I was able to gingerly walk on it but I guess its still too early since it swelled later. I'm seeing my doctor today 🙏🏽
@@SUMMER-qk7xt Oh my, heal well! Thank God for further advice on TH-cam!
@@multifariousgemini I hope you get good news
How about grade 3 ankle sprain? A complete atfl tear..when do I can start doing some strengthening movement rather than a complete rigid
After doing long running ankle swollen and pain how to treat please help me
I sprain my ankle yesterday at church because of my hills. It look swollen but my friends said it’s not that bad compared to her sister. The thing is it hurts when I move my feet left and right but I can move it up and down. Should I go to the Dr. To get it check?
Have it checked if you're worried about it. It is always best to have it assessed so that you know exactly what you're dealing with.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio thank you! Actually, now it way better. I mean, it’s not heal yet but I still put on a ankle support that way It can heal properly. I can put on a weight on it. The thing is I just can’t move my ankle left and right.
Thank you so much 🙏🤗
I have sprained my ankle 6 days ago, it’s not swollen anymore but the bruising increases, when can I start to try walking normally?
You can usually start walking as soon as pain allows. Limiting it to what you can do with minimal discomfort and what does not make it hurt more afterwards.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio thank you for your reply, my biggest fear now is to start walking properly, seems like my brain forgot how to walk without limp 😩😩
I know - that can be hard! You've inspired me to make a quick video about walking on a sprained ankle - freshly published here: th-cam.com/video/bkvXAal3N74/w-d-xo.html
Is applying ice packs for weeks fine ??
I had ankle sprain yesterdsy while stepping down from stairs i fell on my left ankle completely 360 degree i was about to faint it was that pain full then after 10 minutes sitting in the same direction on which i fell down i stood up got uber and reached home but ciuldnt walk up the stairs to go inside home. I have applied analgesic cream and wrapped with warm bandage. Still can not walk but i can move my ankle less pain on different movement but cant walk on left foot. What to do
Sounds like you need to get it checked by a doctor - it may be broken
After 1 day rest I am trying to walk with stick and putting weight on toes outward side of foot and heels still painful I'll visit doctor tor for x ray
Bruh I sprained my ankle bruh i felt pain but then it went kinda numb walked it off I think it ain’t hurt cause of my adrenaline but the game must go on so I finished the game it hurt a lil bit but not that bad I sat down on the bus going home as soon I tried to stand up I felt sharp ass pain walked off that bus limping like a lil bitch 😂😂😂😂
Hows your ankle
My ankle sprained since 4 months and was no friction in xray and have done couple of physiotherapist sessions included dry needling and mobilization but still not much improvement and i still see swollen on ankle with pain if am sitting on floor , any suggestions
Also if i stand on my injured foot i cant stay for a few secs without my foot shaking
It sounds as if you can do with a second opinion because your ankle should be better by now. Have you completed proper strength training for it? The most important part of ankle sprain treatment is a slow progressive rehab plan to restore the strength. Dry needling and mobilization only works for a short while to reduce pain.

Excuseme sir, I sprained my ankle about a week ago in playing volleyball and by resting and some treatments at home, I can move around like my usual self, run, jump, and all. But for some reason, just in front of my ankle joint, there is a small reddish area, and when I press around that area, it pains me, and there is a cracking sound when I move my ankle round.
Please sir, let me know If you know something about this
