Considering I got a grade 3 sprain on my ankle last year from falling, this was really interesting to why it sometimes still hurts. Thanks Patrick! Also, your videos are helping me get through A&P Lab
I was a ballet dancer as a teenager and sprained/tore my deltoid ligament pretty badly. Then, while it was still healing I had the same exact injury on the other foot, though not as badly (because I stupidly continued trying to dance). I was told at the time that I was more predisposed because I have an extra bone in my foot (?). I was a bit too young to pay attention to details but basically it looks like I have 2 bumps instead of one on the inside of my foot. It took close to a decade to fully heal and even now at age 31 it still bothers me if I walk a bit too long. Interestingly I've never had the more common sprains in my life despite all the strain my feet have been under.
I'm probably at like #235...my ankles hyperextend (I can put them flat against the wall while standing in a doorway!) so I'm CONSTANTLY spraining my ankles! Heck, I had that weird type of ankle break where ligament or tendon tore off the tip of my tibia and I didn't even know about it until years after when I went in for yet another ankle sprain at work! 😂
Not me having sprained both ankles. My left was inversion sprain, where the ligament got slightly torn of the bone, taking a piece with it. That one was really unstable for a good year and it could take a small dip in the walkway for me to sprain it yet again. And the right ankle was when I slipped with my bike and my medial side hit the pedal, making it go into eversion. While no swelling present after the incident, I couldn't keep my foot flexed for more than 15 minutes.
But we spend way more time outside of sport settings so yeah doing sports is a major risk factor. Edit: On a rewatch I understand what you mean but it's weird not to just point out the obvious, we spend more time not exercising so even though there is less of a chance it can and still does happen.
Can you do a video on wrist sprains. I have two 'perminantly' sprained wrists which means slight overload (less than what it would usually take to sprain) means I get a sprained wrist. Does this mean I have chronic wrist instability?
