Ankle sprain symptoms?

The clinical manifestations of ankle sprain include pain and swelling of the sprained area immediately after the injury, followed by skin ecchymosis. In severe cases, the affected foot is unable to move due to pain and swelling.

When the lateral malleolus is sprained, the pain is aggravated when the patient tries to perform varus. When the medial deltoid ligament was injured, the patient's pain symptoms increased when he tried to perform hallux valgus. After rest, pain and swelling may disappear, and ankle instability and repeated sprains may occur due to ligament relaxation.

The symptoms of the first sprain patients are often more serious, with ankle pain and swelling. When sprain, there will be a sense of dislocation of the ankle joint, mild varus of the ankle joint, and obvious tenderness points at the lateral ligament of the ankle joint. It is difficult to complete physical examination for acute injury due to pain and swelling. After anesthesia, drawer test and varus stress test may be positive. The examination should be compared with the contralateral normal joint to prevent misjudgment due to congenital joint relaxation. Drawer test and varus stress test were more likely to lead to positive signs.
