Sprains usually refer to ankle sprains. An ankle sprain lasting for two weeks or the inability to walk normally may be caused by reasons such as untimely treatment, lack of attention to enhanced care, and soft tissue damage.
1. Untimely Treatment: If an ankle sprain is not treated promptly and effectively, it may lead to deterioration of the condition, and the patient may be unable to walk normally for an extended period.
2. Lack of Attention to Enhanced Care: After an injury, it is important to pay attention to enhanced care and reduce the movement of the joint area. If care is not enhanced, the joint area may suffer secondary injury, potentially affecting the recovery progress.
3. Soft Tissue Damage: After an ankle sprain, it may lead to local soft tissue damage, with symptoms such as tissue fluid extravasation, local swelling, and pain, affecting normal walking. Under the guidance of a doctor, medications such as anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving liniment, blood-activating and pain-relieving liniment, and safflower oil can be applied locally for treatment.
It may also be related to ligament strain, bone dislocation, fractures, and other reasons. After an injury, medical attention should be sought promptly to avoid delaying the condition.
