Imagine hoping around and twisting it again 🤦🏽‍♂️🫣

It also happens when someone returns back to sport as well. Injury prevention is tough.

​@@MichaelBraccio that happend to me today, at at school during basket ball practice. I turned around and next thing u notice my foot lands the wrong way.

[@gab6918]

Actually, a lot of times scar tissue is created, which continues to cause pain even after “healed” and the only way to fix the pain, is to twist it again which breaks up those scare tissue and the pain stops. I’m not saying on purpose trust it, but twisting it again by mistake is the only thing that I know has fixed 4 people including myself. I would imagine a rolfer or PT may also know how to manually break the scare tissue.

[@PMax6]

I rolled my ankle playing basketball, but I play baseball so I played through it and then it just got worse and worse. It turned into a dislocation and then I strained another ligament in my foot. Another week after that I STRAIN MY GROIN. Which is unbearable, this has been a rough week 😂

[@eyeslanderer]

Bro what

[@KhalidG67]

I rolled my ankle yesterday and the first hour was normal cause I was active then after school finished I could barely walk. It’s the next day and I can’t even put pressure on the ankle, and it hurts to walk.

[@someone-iy6km]

Ya the same man happened to me at college today At the first hour i felt like it was nothing, I think it is because of the hormones like adrenaline you don't feel pain directly after injury

[@juanjuan4119]

bro I was playing soccer someone stepped on me and I rolled my ankle I and I just went on with the game like nothing today I can't even walk

[@MichaelBraccio]

Not that uncommon. Sometimes its not the strain on the ligament but the inflammatory response. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Same, did it heal now?

[@Mushroomy_.-._]

I rolled my ankle just like this during gymnastics and I heard multiple loud cracks..2nd day of healing now and it doesn’t hurt as much but my ankle is still pretty swollen and tender

[@sweetlyedenfarms]

Definitely truth to this, I had a sprain that I just continued to walk on and even twisted it a bit more. But it literally healed up with regular use. I did elevate in the evenings.

Update?

[@josephjoestar995]

Thank you! My past two ankle sprains (playing football) I fully ditched RICE and let it swell up, and on top I tried to do supported tip toes, and toe raises aka trying to keep it mobile and moving as much as I could without pain. And both times have been my fastest recovery ever, honestly within 24 hours I could walk without anyone thinking I'm injured

[@MichaelBraccio]

Glad to hear the ankle sprains didn’t keep you side lined for too long!

@@ronicjones4617 it depends how bad yours is mate, I know it's tough to admit but you have to be realistic and accept you'll probably be out for 2 weeks. In that time, try to eat well, do as much mobility with it (only when it doesn't hurt) and you should get there

I sprained my ankle a couple years back. No fracture whatsoever, but it still hurts when the weather is cold and whenever I sleep in bed. Sometimes it bothers me because the pain wakes me up. I reckon it developed some form of arthritis...

[@MichaelBraccio]

Could be but hard to say for sure.

[@catsanddogsforlife9106]

Yesterday I twisted my ankle. Today it feels normal. I twisted my ankle in the middle of recess, so i still had to walk a lot. after school, i went for a long walk with my dog. even if it hurt, it was worth it. Then i put a ice pack around my twisted ankle and the next day its 2x better. Try this, its no exercises at all. I can even jump and run.

Broken ankle no cast and just walked around and I finished the hockey season. Only have good movement back now, and most of the bones that were sticking out have reformed somewhere.

[@clapthunder686]

Welp, this explains why, after spraining my ankle 4 times, over a few years, and the only imaging they've done for sprains was xrays, nothing further despite the fact my foot blew up and was all black and purple, and didn't even put in the diagnosis just looked at my bones and that was it. And the doctor recommended rest, ice, elevation, etc, and now here we are like 9 years later and I can barley stand for 1 hour of work, or it becomes to where it's progressed to where I can't stand on it correctly for a day and a half after a work day. Been through extremely painful therapy, which didn't work, then on top of that, over the counter pain meds then prescribed stronger steroids and pain killer drugs, and nothing has really done anything to minimize the pain. Then now I'm being told to get epidurals for all this pain along with other pain, after being told my a surgeon that everything looks too damaged to touch so. 😂😁 This is what happens when people hire people that don't know what they're doing.

There’s no research to support ice for swelling, pain, or improving function. That’s why the treatment guidelines no longer recommend it.

If it's painful and swelling, ice it, especially if the injury is new. At least it will numb the pain somewhat, evidence or no.

You can ice it if you want to. But I’d rather focus on more effective approaches.

My ankles feel better but one day they will feel fine next day out of nowhere playing basketball it hurts feels like pressure hurting

[@umershaikh7179]

My ankle sprain I had before was brutal. I was doing a soccer trick with a basketball where u jump and kick the ball with the side of one leg and the ball goes through the other leg. I was on my driveway and misjudged the slope on the driveway and landed at the side of the ball causing the ankle to roll very harshly. The worst part was my right ankle took the entire impact! I didn’t even fall down and distribute my momentum. If I were to fall immediately after, it would have been distributed better to other parts of the body. So, no fracture but i got a brutal sprain. It’s healed now but I still feel some tingles to this day… prob cause I didn’t do physiotherapy that well

[@MichaelBraccio]

Yikes that sounds intense! Curious about this soccer trick though….

[@umershaikh7179]

@@MichaelBraccio hm it was basically the “Ronaldo chop”, but I jumped a little higher when I was kicking the ball from right foot through my legs to the left foot. You can search that move up. It’s nothing complicated, just messed it up.

[@kendallanderson7886]

I’ve been out of high school 10 years now and I’ve sprained my left ankle a few times, for some reason it’s never been the same since. Gives out on me randomly

[@MichaelBraccio]

Could be many things, especially since re-injury after an ankle sprain is common. Most of the time a good rehab program can be helpful in reducing the risk of future injury.

[@nightmarefanatic1819]

According to what an aunt who was a nurse told me, its because sprains damage the ligaments in the ankle and once those are damaged they don't go back to how they were before a sprain. Its like over stretching a rubber band, once it's lost its elasticity, it doesn't hold things together as well and its easier to stretch or even break it.

[@sato43]

That jumping may increase the severity

[@MichaelBraccio]

It’s important to gradually increase the load on the ankle for rehab

[@youngovakatoko2653]

I miss stepped at practice two days ago and it just decently after but the next day it was swollen and in pain at certain ranges but the next day the sharp pain went away the swelling came down and i can squat. It’s just the jumping part i’m tryna get back to in 4 days.

[@chelseachee3317]

It’s in the Front, my pain

[@MichaelBraccio]

Of the ankle?

[@milindm7472]

I had ankle sprain 1 week ago...no fracture but legements are broken...how much time it takes to heal ?

[@MichaelBraccio]

Depends on the severity. But usually ankle sprains heal somewhere in the 4-8 week range.

[@milindm7472]

@@MichaelBraccio thanks for the reply...yeah currently swelling is stopped and now the swollen part skin became stiff...I hope it's recovering

[@Isaacj_money]

I was playing basketball today and I sprinted my ankle and when I put weight it really hurts or when I try to walk it really hurts

[@MichaelBraccio]

Ugh sorry to hear that! Hope that the ankle is feeling better now!

[@eaaddzzzz]

But what about injuring the inside of the ankle

[@MichaelBraccio]

The ligaments on the inside part of the ankle are much stronger. The Ottawa ankle rules can still be used to see if an X-ray is needed. And the rehab is somewhat similar if it's just a sprain of the deltoid ligaments.

Bro i was jumping and I rolled my ankle so bad that i couldn’t get up like my ankle was broken but its ok now

[@MichaelBraccio]

Yikes! Sounds like you dodged a more severe injury!

[@SuperH3roZ]

I can do all the exrciess but it still hurt what is the problem

[@MichaelBraccio]

No idea. That's why you should have it looked at by someone who can give you some individualized advice on why it's not tolerating the specific movements.

[@MichaelBraccio]

Ouch! I used to work some mountain biking events and those injuries are rough. Hope you have a speedy recovery to get back on the dirt bike!

[@pseitrends1435]

How long does the ligaments heal? I just use an ankle support

[@MichaelBraccio]

Generally 6-8 weeks. Although it varies depending on the severity of the injury.

[@pseitrends1435]

It's so cool when traditional method is neglected by modern science, the movement is the key to heal =>
