These are super common, whether youโre an athlete or just clumsy (like me, sometimes!). A fracture is a break in the bone, while a sprain involves the ligaments. Knowing the difference is important, but both need attention. For any painful foot or ankle issues, itโs important to consult a podiatrist.
๐๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด: Often caused by a direct impact or twisting injury. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, and inability to bear weight.
๐๐ฑ๐ณ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ด: Occur when ligaments are stretched or torn. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and limited range of motion.
๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต: RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is a good start, but see a podiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment. This might include casting, bracing, or physical therapy.
