Foot & ankle
Ankle sprain
A rolled or twisted ankle. Recover fully to avoid it recurring.
Ankle sprains are common and usually settle well, but recovering strength and balance properly matters: a poorly rehabbed ankle is more likely to roll again.
Common symptoms
- Pain and swelling after rolling the ankle
- Difficulty weight-bearing or walking
- Bruising around the ankle
- A feeling of instability
