How is a ligament sprain self-diagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Point tenderness: Each ligament is in a specific location so the pain will be at that specific location. However -- fractures and other injuries can present the same way so get checked and get an xray to be sure a bone in not broken.
