Pain In The Ankle Due To Sprains?
Excuse me, I want to ask. I had an ankle injury about 1 year ago. A few days ago I dislocated the area and there was no freezing. But often it suddenly hurts and why is that? Thank you

Hello nabila,
Thank you for the question.
Sprains on the ankle can be a serious condition or not. When dislocated, various components of the ankle, including the skin, muscles, joints, ligaments, bones, blood vessels, nerves, etc. can be damaged. Of course, how much damage can occur varies, depending on the sprained mechanism. Injury in the same area that you experienced before, if you also make a prolonged damage to the ankle area, can also make a sprain that you experience at this time lead to more severe tissue damage.
The pain that you are feeling right now can be a mild condition, it can also be serious. Frequently, if the pain is mild without swelling, numbness, stiffness, and ankle deformity, this condition is not dangerous. Try to relieve the pain first by resting the aching leg, compressing it with warm water, or applying a warm cream on the ankle. Avoid random massage or ringing the area of pain so that tissue damage that occurs is not getting worse.
If in this way the pain does not also improve, or other complaints appear more serious, do not hesitate to go to a doctor or neurologist for further treatment, okay?
I hope this helps.
