tell me what's a grade 2 sprain?

Question

My anke feels sprained for two weeks now. What could it be?

Answer 1

It depends: There are several different grading systems. Some are supposed to apply to all joints while others intended to apply to certain joints only. However, most have 3 different grades where grade 1 is the most mild and grade 3 is the worst. So, a grade 2 is right in the middle. What that means regarding treatment and prognosis cannot be answered without knowing more info.

Answer 2

Ligament Injury: Grade ii (second degree) injury is more severe than a grade i injury and indicates that the ligament has been more significantly damaged, but there is no significant instability.

Answer 3

General term: "sprain" is a general term - often mis used referring to the stretch or tearing of a ligament. Ligaments are the 'rubber bands" that hold bones and joints together in the skeleton. Minor sprains resolve without treatment, severe ones sometimes require many weeks of treatment or even surgery.

Answer 4

Joint ligment Injury: Tear or partial tear of a ligament. up to 12 weeks required for resolution of most serious.

Answer 5

Soft tissue injury.: A sprain is a soft tissue injury around a joint. It usually involves a tear of ligaments and may involve other soft tissues within the area such as tendons.

Answer 6

RICE: Rest, ice, compression, elevation.

Answer 7

Start with RICE: I recommend you start with rice, follow with stretching/ strengthening (therapy that a healthcare provider can teach you to do at home), & consider bracing. If these treatments fail you may be a candidate for cortisone or prp injections depending on your specific injury. Some people end up needing surgery...

Answer 8

1,2,3: They are rated as 1st, 2nd & 3rd degree depending on the extent of injury.

Answer 9

1,2,3: First degree sprain - is a tear of only a few fibers of the ligament. Second degree sprain - is a tear of part of a ligament, from a third to almost all its fibers. Third degree sprain - is a complete tear of the ligament. (source :wikipedia).

Answer 10

Graded 1 through 3..: Sprains and strains are graded based on the number of fibers within the structure that are stretched/ torn. This is by no means an exact number (of fibers), st but a grade 1 = fiber stretch, grade two = partial/ moderate disruption, & grade three = complete disruption.

Answer 11

Grade I, II, and III: Grade i sprain is the most common and requires the least amount of treatment and recovery. The ligament damage has occurred without any significant instability developing. Grade ii injury is more severe and indicates that the ligament has been more significantly damaged, but there is no significant instability. Grade iii sprain is results in torn ligaments resulting in instability.

Answer 12

Arnica & Rutin: If you have sprains and strains then you may benefit from using two natural herbal remedies. Arnica is good for swelling and pain and healing. It comes at a pill and as a gel to rub on the areas. Rutin is good for bruising. You can find both at the health food store. Make sure you check to see if they interact with any of your prescription medications before taking them.

Answer 13

Ligament vs tendon: In general, strains are injuries to a muscle or tendon. A tendon connects the muscle to bone. A sprain is an injury to a ligament. Ligaments connect one bone to another. Both can range from mild (like a stretch with mild injury and pain) to severe (complete tear that might need surgery). See your doctor if you have severe pain, weakness, instability, swelling or an injury that doesn't heal.

Answer 14

Tissue difference: A strain is a stretch injury of a muscle or tendon. A sprain is a stretch injury of a ligament. A ligament connects bone to bone. A tendon connects muscle to bone.

Answer 15

Similar, but diff: A sprain is an injury involving the stretching or tearing of a ligament or a joint capsule. Sprains occur when a joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion, such as turning or rolling your ankle. Strains are injuries that involve the stretching or tearing of muscle and/or tendon. Strains take place when a muscle is overstretched suddenly, such as pulling a hamstring.

Answer 16

Muscle vs ligament: Sprain is ligament injury, strain is muscle injury.
