"Why Does My Twisted Ankle Hurt When I Move It, But Not When I Stay Still?"

A twisted ankle causes pain when moved but not when stationary. The common causes of twisted ankle pain and non-pain are local swelling, soft tissue injury, and even fracture dislocation. Treatment often requires limb elevation, and surgical reduction and surgical treatment are necessary to relieve symptoms when needed.

After a sprain, local soft tissues, including ligaments, are prone to damage. In severe cases, fractures and dislocations may occur. Local immobilization can usually relieve or even eliminate pain symptoms. After activity, patients may stimulate the swollen area, causing local pain, which is related to the compression and irritation of the nerve edematous tissue.

1. Limb Elevation: After a sprain, due to local swelling and pain, treatment such as limb elevation is generally required.

2. Technical Reduction: If there are ligament ruptures or fracture dislocations, technical reduction and auxiliary external fixation are needed.

3. Surgical Treatment: If conservative treatment fails, surgical treatment, including ligament reconstruction, internal fixation of fractures, and reduction of joint dislocations, often needs to be considered. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly and allow clinicians to assist in making a correct diagnosis and further treatment.
