What are the consequences of often spraining your ankle?

My ankle sprain may not be a big deal for most people, but it is these people who can't see the wound and bleeding that we need to pay attention to and be vigilant. Almost everyone has had an ankle sprain, but it may be a small ankle sprain experience, which will cause lifelong illness.

Women wear high heels, and men are prone to sprain their ankles during strenuous exercise, but few people really pay attention to it. Many people think that ankle sprain is too simple, thinking that as long as it is not a fracture or something, it will be fine to rest for a few days without treatment, but it is this common sense that has left many people with ankle sprains with lifelong illness.

After I sprained my ankle, the most common symptoms are ankle fracture, sprain and fascia injury. The air force doctor mentioned above was caused by fascia injury. Many patients with ankle sprain can easily cause habitual ankle sprain after a sprain, which is the sequela of ankle sprain without formal and effective treatment.

What are the symptoms after ankle sprain? The ankle will be obviously swollen, and the pain will be obvious (some will have different degrees of pain due to weather changes), and some areas will have congestion, so it is impossible to stand or walk for a long time. Ankle fracture, if not treated in time or improperly, may lead to lifelong disability.

Fascia injury caused by ankle sprain is also very common. Once the fascia of the foot is damaged, it will pull the soft tissue and bones wrapped in it, and press the surrounding nerve tissue and meridians, so that the nerve tissue and meridian system can not operate normally, thus making people feel unbearable pain and unable to walk normally.

Many people feel that their feet are all right after a few days' rest after spraining their ankles, but it is likely that they have left the root of the disease. After spraining your ankle again or strenuous exercise, you may have a sudden attack. This time it is not as easy to treat as it was at the beginning. The root cause of the disease is the injury of fascia.

What about habitual sprain?

Ankle sprain belongs to the category of tendon injury in traditional Chinese medicine. After spraining the ankle, it will cause damage to fascia, meridians and joints, and hinder the circulation of qi and blood in meridians. The injury of fascia will press the nerve tissue and meridians around it, making it unable to function normally. If the nerve tissue and meridians are not smooth, the foot system will be out of balance, leading to habitual sprain of the ankle.

Friends who often sprain their ankles should pay attention. Habitual sprain of ankle is not a trivial matter. Timely and effective treatment is needed to repair the damaged fascia, meridians and joints, so that these tissues can return to normal operation, and the symptoms of ankle sprain will naturally disappear.

Ankle sprain is not a trivial matter, and it may affect your life. Don't turn minor injuries into major disasters.
