What Should I Do if My Ankle Hurts A Lot After Being Bumped?
Ankle injuries can be caused by local swelling, ligament damage, fractures, and other reasons. They can be treated through cold compresses, oral medication, surgery, and other methods.
Local Swelling: If the ankle is hit by an external force, the subcutaneous capillaries may rupture, leading to congestion and swelling under the skin, accompanied by pain. A cold compress can be used to improve the situation. Cold compresses can promote capillary contraction and relieve swelling and pain.
Ligament Damage: If a strong impact is applied, it may also cause ligament damage. If the symptoms of ligament damage are severe, one can choose ligament repair treatment at a formal hospital. Postoperative care must be strengthened.
Hairline Fracture: A fracture is an incomplete break where the bone tissue has cracks but is not separated. Patients may experience limited mobility. They can take medications such as Xianling Gubao Capsule, Gugang Capsule, and Gujisanfan, as recommended by their doctors. Besides the above reasons, fractures should also be considered and can be treated with open internal fixation. During treatment, rest is essential.
