Question 3

ankle sprain caused severe swelling to foot, what to do?

Accepted Answer

P.R.I.C.E.: After an acute ankle sprain the rule is price. Protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation. This will help to reduce the swelling, but you have to be proactive and consistent.
 Stay off the ankle, and reduce activity which causes the ligaments to 'stretch' out. You want to protect the structures, and keep the ice on through the first week. Physical therapy can help a great deal as well.

Question 4

my foot is turned to the right and and i have a high ankle sprain is it going to turn back?

Accepted Answer

Brace : As long as there is no ligament tear( checked by a doctor) and if it is sprain, the discomfort and angular ion should get better. Key is that there should be no apparent or hidden injury, as that might need more treatment than just a brace n rest with ice pak application.

Question 5

ankle sprain, pain gets worse at night when i lie down and i always wake up in the night after i've moved my foot in an awkward position,  help please?

Accepted Answer

Keep free &amp; elevate: Staying in a position for a prolonged period can cause a sprained ankle to feel stiff and aggravate pain. You can try keeping the ankle out from under the covers so it's not "restricted" or could try elevating it up on a couple pillows while sleeping - elevation also helps with relieving swelling and overall pain.

Question 6

how come i get foot tingles from an ankle sprain?

Nerve damage: It's possible that when you sprained your ankle, one or multiple nerves were stretched and damaged resulting in a tingling sensation.  I would suspect this would resolve on its own.  If it doesn't, evaluation by your physician may be warranted.

Question 10
