Ankle Pain
A sprained ankle or twisted ankle is a common cause of ankle pain. A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments and the most common type is a lateral ligament strain – the result of the ankle bent inwards under pressure.
What are the different types of ankle sprains?
As with all ligament sprains, sprained ankles are graded according to their severity. With a grade 1 sprain, you’re probably still able to put some weight on your ankle without it giving way with some mild pain, although it may be slightly swollen and prevent you from easily getting around. A grade 2 sprain indicates that there has been moderate tearing of the ligament fibres, leaving you with considerable pain and difficulty walking. A grade 3 sprain is where the ligament has completely ruptured. As a result, the ankle is extremely unstable, swollen and bruised.
