my sprain ankle brought me here, thanks a thousand times you rock.

great video. 24yp footballer from Trinidad here and I sprained my ankle this evening for the first tome ever. Wasn’t sure how if it was broken or anything but this video helped me a LOT!. A MILLION THANKS!

I sprained my ankle (actually foot) 2 weeks ago. Initially it wasn’t that swollen but I could not physically walk on it even a step after I hobbled home. I tried icing it but it was making the pain worse. Later that day I went and got an x-ray and sure enough have a little avulsion fracture off the anterior calcaneus. It got more and more swollen and bruised over the next 2 days and could not physically weight bear for 3 days even in a cam boot. I’ve been told now I can walk on it and have weaned off the cam boot now. I still limp and my calf size is so much smaller now. My mobility of the ankle is almost back to normal in plantar flexion and dorsiflexion. It’s painful still with some inversion and eversion movements with weight bearing but even this is improving. I have a physio appointment this afternoon and hoping to be moving onto strengthening! Such a frustrating process as a usually very active individual!

Very detailed and clearly explained. Thank you for this.

Greetings from Pretoria. Sprained my left ankle during a doubles squash game yesterday after recovering from a 12 week right ankle sprain. I will need your videos more to continue doing sports after 50!

My toes feel numb...twisted and landed on the side of my foot. I can't stand...excruciating pain on side of foot. You are amazing and so patient..

Possibly the most helpful video I’ve ever seen on RU-vid - thank you!

Million thanks for making this video and more importantly making it accessible without having to pay unlike other channels that tells you all the good things you can do but leaves you halfway when you’re in real pain!! 🙏 GOD bless you!!

I spained my ankle on the Saturday when jogging. There was lots of pain on Saturday and Sunday. Interesting information! Thank you!

Wow! Much better than I would have ever expected from an urgent care visit. Thanks for the push for guidence to see a physio for a more specific remediation.

This video is an excellent resource for a sprained ankle! I found it to be very informative. Thank You!

This video was really good, and just what I was looking for! I appreciate so much, all the thorough and detailed descriptions of the foot and ankle anatomy, and all of the types of injuries that can occur. It really helped me in a big way. About 16 months ago, I injured my ankle in such a way, that has caused me to be continuously impaired, as it still has not healed correctly, and some days I can barely walk. It is especially hard when I first get out of bed and sometimes additional pain in the evening. What has made things more complicated, are a few pre-existing problems I had prior to (what I believe to be a sprain based on the descriptions I learned of in this video) to the actual and most recent sprain incident. I put off going to the doctor, because I had just moved from one state to another, and in a new town/city, and it was during the tail end of all the C19 nonsense and all the disturbing Gestapo-like forceful pressuring of people to get injected with an untested toxin as some kind of requirement in order to resume with our lives. It was and still is, a very creepy situation, as we do not get granted "rights" nor does government get to remove them in the name of "safety". Then use every way to imaginable to coerce people into taking this injection, with an unnatural and contrived urgency that to me, more and more came to resemble what I saw as a deception. Everything about it was highly suspicious. The conflicting information that constantly changed, the labeling people as spreading misinformation or cutting people out of the use of social media if you asked questions or shared your doubts to others. Then the (US) government and other major health agencies (you know the ones) decided to make other medications and treatments that were KNOWN TO BE EFFECTIVE AND SAFE, and made them practically inaccessible. Also Highly suspicious! They collectively continued to push this injection as leverage if we wanted "normalcy" to return, but never gave consistent answers to legitimate concerns. I could go on and on, even more than I have, though I'm sure you get the idea, as to why I was terrified to go to a hospital. I simply was not going to be a "lab rat" in their creepy experiment. It makes no sense, and can actually be harmful, if you take a "preventative injection" when you've already had that particular ailment. You don't get a shot for chicken pox for example, after you've already had it. Doctors know this, yet these "authorities" did not care, and that is clearly something that is wrong, and only adds to the suspicion when you see such "deliberate incompetence". To make a long story substantially shorter, I had the good fortunate of finding a good place to go to,and very close to my home, that specializes in podiatric issues and conditions, to get a better look at why my ankle is so damaged, now that some of the viral hype has dissipated. I feel I have a small window of opportunity before "they" attempt another planned threat. I've spent over a year in pain most of the time, and I'm completely sick of it, and with not knowing exactly what is wrong with me or what to do about it. I could never seem to find any answers that made sense, until this video. This has been so helpful considering all the obstacles and uncertainty. Thank you so very much for helping to clarify the missing puzzle pieces of my problem so I can be more at ease with the direction I need to take, and with more accurate knowledge to better allow me to find a solution to my on going impairment. An impairment, I definitely want to be free of.. it's been a painful and frustrating journey with no end in sight until now. I sincerely thank you~

👍this is very helpful and comes in handy for my sprained left ankle - which happened yesterday and started swelling immediately.thanks

Thanks for keeping this simple!! I looked at another video and it wasn’t helpful. The closeup visuals were a plus!! Thank u!!

Thank you soo much,i myself am a student in med school,trying to become a physiotherapist. So this helps me a lot!

The most complete guide for ankle recup! Thank u so much.

Thanks so much ... I started off with a 5th metatarsal fracture , later found out got a fully ruptured AITFL and stretched ATFL. 5TH week ATM, moonboot outside, no moonboot inside. Hospital hasn't given me any physio yet so I'm following your videos. Was ok except for walking on toes... I felt I needed to let my heel down each step with my injured foot. But other than that I feel it's helping! I'm just listening to my body.. if I feel pain, I stop. Hopefully this will help me recover faster . Thank you!!!

Very informative and well presented . Much Appreciated . my grandson is in second day of injury having not listened to my advice initially .

Thank you so much for a really clear explanation of what to do. My husband had suggested strapping up my ankle but now I understand what to do.

Very illustrative! Thank you so much! God bless you!

Thanks for your video! I'm currently in day two of the sprain. Currently this particular movement 21:42 is quite painful.

Glad to see this video..i am suffering sprain ankle right now and its very painful

Excellent presentation; so clear an precise ¨

Best video ever ! You made me feel relieved because I had broken my ankle last year and I have 11 screws and I tripped like a week ago and my ankle is painful but now I know it’s not broken.

Tomorrow I got ankle sprain/strain but I am doing your guidance

Thanks for the detailed explanation, it's much appreciated.

U r awesomeness. Wish i would have had this info 50 yrs ago playing basketball.

Such an informative and useful video. Many thanks! My ankle was sprained when my horse and I had a fall and she landed on my lower leg and ankle.

Wow, this was incredibly helpful!

Thank you for your explanation very much appreciated, so very interesting to listen to, thank you so much.

Thank you so much. I sprained my right ankle from playing volleyball. Your video is really helpful..

Thank you so much for such a thorough explanation. Really helpful.

i sprained my ankle, 5 weeks ago, and JUST found this video, and everything you said to do in this video, I did pretty much everything mentioned, but my ankle is still kind of weak so I'm still working with it. :).

Best video I’ve found ….Excellent.

So brilliant education! Really helpful, thumbs up! 👍

Thank you. You are better than doctors.

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.

I injured my ankle and broken forearm in a bike accident and had a cast for 3 weeks for my leg without surgery and ORIF surgery for firearm. Today the POP cast was removed and i can feel stiffness in the leg and feel like a dead ankle and i can't move it and can't bear any weight. Thank you so much for the informative video🤠🎉 I hope it will fix my ankle.

Thank you do Much for this Information.. God bless You

An hour ago I went to buy a pair of hiking boots with high hopes that it will protect me from injuries, on the way home I fell off my bicycle and sprained a foot... Also, this is the first time I cycled without a helmet... lol... isn't it ironic?! Now I'm here learning a life lesson😅

Thank you for this. I hope i can use this to my friend had an injury because of sprain or strain.

Very well explained. Thank you

Thank you 🙏 you make total sense to me 🇬🇧🇬🇧

I put a compression sock on and then folded it back over to secure my foot and help the swelling. Feels better than the boot.

Hope we all get better 👍

Sprained my ankle, i lost my balance going down the stairs and bent the ankle inwards ( the most common injury ) and came back up from that position. Hand helped too late. It immediately hurt a lot but stopped after a few minutes. I could normally walk for almost an hour and then it began to swell and be painful, and after 2 hours i was completely unable to even touch the ground with the injured foot ! Its almost my 2nd week now, still cant walk its swollen and so annoying, cant sleep deep into the night cause of the pain and discomfort ( awake till 2-4am ) Grade 2 injury btw, probably 2+ i bet. I cant wait to finally start training the ankle to be able to do normal things i do and sport!!!! 😢 This video was very informative

Wow our joints are amazing aren't they and some say we came around by chance, or were we actually designed? 🤔 thanks for yr information.

I sprained my left foot 3 times in like a month during my basketball season, hopin this helps

Excellent ! Soo Helpful and step by step detailed Explanation .... Thank you

This is such a clear and detailed video,also I could listen to you forever. Thanks a lot!

Very helpful! Thank you 🙏

Perfect ,detailed information . Thanks.God bless you abundantly:)

I sprained my ankle playing tennis. Been nursing it for 3.5 weeks now.. the outer bone you mentioned is not super painful when I press it just tender (other areas are fine). I have not gotten it check out tho. I have been doing RICE method and gentle yoga daily 30-45 mins to mobilize that area. Getting better but still not 💯. Would love your recommendation for next move.. TY

I sprained my ankle while hiking and I had to go back for 5 miles. It swell immediately after injury and was extremely stiff. I tricked myself into thinking it didn’t hurt and now I can’t move it, I put ice on and the freezing gel. I don’t know what to do 💀

Apparently sprained ankle while sleeping. No bruise nor swelling, but it is very painful. Who knew sleeping could be hazardous.

I am a teacher and sprained my ankle a year ago while coming down the stairs. Xray showed no fracture but MRI showed inflammatory synovitis with mild ankle joint effusion. I had no option to quit the job at that time, so I took no rest and kept working all days. I used to get cramps and pain while standing, walking, climbing stairs and swelling by the end of the day. The injury became more serious and I had to quit the job. It's been almost 2 months now I have been resting at home. But still I can't walk properly and my ankle shows stiffness, redness, swelling and burning pain. I can climb the stairs but can't go down the stairs easily. It really hurts. I feel hopeless and helpless thinking that my ankle has been permanently damaged. Not understanding what to do.... totally fed up now.☹️😫

God bless you Thanks alot

Thank you very much from Egypt

Great video! Ottawa rules failed me tho. Not meeting the criteria, I waited 3 days then went to a podiatrist at my mom's insistence. She x-rayed my ankle and found I had broken my talus (wedge-shaped slightly displaced distal dorsal fx).

You are absolutely brilliant ! Dr Kijewski

Very useful information as m looking forward to recovery.

I just sprained my left ankle and I need advice on how to treat it

Brilliant ! Thanks so much for producing this. Saved my day.

Very informative. Thanks 👍👍👍

Unfortunately I have sprained my ankle mulitple times. Last week being the third one 😅.

You are so informative

I went to ER on Sunday for sprained ankle they did X-rays and said it was fine noticeable fractures. But my range of motion has not improved too much yet and I do have a little bit of bruising on the inner foot near the heel. Swelling is maybe 90% better but I’m unable to hear weight on it. I tried standing on it for first time and it felt like a jolt like pain on my heel. I’m terrified that maybe I have a really bad injury. Is it possible to still not be able to stand on it 6 days later?

Excellent work ❤️🤝👍

This is very usefull. Thank you!

Thanks

Am very greatful for this info thank you❤

Great video! Thanks.

Why my injury almost 3 months we have swelling

standing on a book -- ah, that hurts more at the heart than the ankle.

Brilliant video 👍

Hello doctor, i sprsined my ankle last year wi5h grade 2. I can walk without pain but my ankle is bothering me with pain during rest and sometimes dur to tightness there is limitation in doresflextion …I did physiotherapy since 6 months.. i feel pain in bone and down to ankle balls? What do you suggest me to do? Do i have peroneal tendenities?

I have sprained my right ankle 5 weeks ago. Doctor said it is a severe ankle sprain but no fracture. I was put on a cast for 4 weeks. Then, cast was removed and I started walking with crutches. Yesterday I walked alone (no crutches) and everything was fine except that I still feel pain. Swelling has reduced significantly (there is almost no swelling). Is it normal to feel pain and should I keep walking on it or not ?

Thanks for the information

Thank you so much ❤

I sprained my ankle about 9 months ago. I used some medicine. Spray and pills. But my ankle is still a bit swollen and different from the ankle of the other foot. Do you think my ankle will ever be the same as before? What do you suggest I do?

So helpful!

I was taking out the trash and stepped off the side walk while while towards my apartment dumpster and rolled my ankle and fell. There's a soft ball shaped swollen mass on my foot and I'm laying down with an ice pack tied around my ankle with a kitchen towel. This shit hurts man....

9:00 my problem start from here 💔💔

After doing long running ankle swollen and pain how to treat please help me

Bruh I just love qhen I jump off the trampoline directly into a pothole🥰

How about grade 3 ankle sprain? A complete atfl tear..when do I can start doing some strengthening movement rather than a complete rigid

I can't put any weight on my left foot 😥 its a sprain based on xray. My foot is numb and swollen 😥 I don't see a bruise.

Jammed both ankles coming down the stairs. Very painful. Walked it off. No swelling or bruising. Both feet have a little numbing, pinching and throbbing. Very fatiguing. I can't carry more than 30 lbs. 6 months ago had X-rays, not broken. Now what?
