Hello sir! im akash of age 14, I had sprain in my ankle, got an c ray done. Tere is no fracture?there is a mild soft tissue rupture. Waiting for your suggestion.

Question

Regards, Lybrate user. Ankle sprains could occur when the ankle gets twisted. One may have mild to moderate swelling and pain in the outer ankle (most common). X-rays are taken to rule out any fractures. A sprain of the ligament around the outer ankle may sometimes lead to long-lasting pain if not treated properly. There is also a chance of repeated injury if the sprain is not treated properly. It is recommended that you consult an orthopedic physiotherapist to have your ankle evaluated and treated appropriately. One may need to focus on pain management initially, followed by strengthening the muscles and enhancing your balance to ensure recurring episodes do not happen.� please feel free to reach out for a virtual consultation, should you wish to pursue it.�pain management could be appropriately performed within 1-2 sessions of physiotherapy using self managing techniques.
