A member asked:
If my ankle didn't swell up or bruise, does that mean it wasn't sprained?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: You still could of sprained it....example: sometimes when I perform surgery patients get absolutely no swelling or pain, yet, I know I cut into their tissue.....
