Sprained Ankle..

not me.. but my boyfriend..
i think this is the 3rd time he sprained his leg during BMT..
and.. me.. HEARTACHE la..haix..

going to field camp this week and need to walk 6 clicks..
wonder how's he gonna do it with that sprained ankle..

Cause
A sprained ankle, also known as an ankle sprain,
rolled ankle, ankle injury or ankle ligament injury,
is a common medical condition where one or more
of the ligaments of the ankle is torn or partially torn.
The anterior talofibular ligament is one of the most
commonly involved ligaments.
Sprains to the lateral aspect of the ankle account for 85% of ankle sprains.
Treatment
Severe ankle sprains should be assessed by a
podiatrist or an orthopedic doctor although physical therapy
treatment is extremely effective for most sprained ankles.
Immediately following the injury it is important to follow the PRICE protocol
– protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation

PROTECT. This is quite simple,
but amazingly common for people to forget.
Don't walk on the sprained ankle,
and protect it from further contact by

REST.Take a few days off of your feet.
You don't have to be inactive,
but be sure the ankle is being rested.
ICE.This can be done several times a day,
for 15-20 minutes. This will keep the swelling to a minimum.
Do NOT ice for more than 20 minutes,
it will do more damage than good.

COMPRESSION.This does not have to be all of the time,
but particularly when your foot is not elevated it would be advisable.
A simple Ace wrap is fie or light compression.

ELEVATE.This will also help to minimize the swelling that takes place.
A few pillows under the ankle should be fine to get the leg up enough
while keeping the injured limb comfortable.
He's going for physiotherapy on friday, in tekong..
Jia you for your field camp ba..once it's over..
you're more than 80% through..
Take care~!Loves~!
