Why Does the Bone on the Injured Side Hurt After a Sprain?
Pain in the bone on the sprained side may be caused by ligament tears, cartilage damage, or ankle fractures, and requires prompt treatment.
Ligament Tears: After a sprain, the local ligaments may be strained, causing local pain, swelling, or subcutaneous congestion. Cold compresses with ice packs can be applied, followed by hot compresses with a warm towel after 24 hours to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and promote local blood circulation.
Cartilage Injury: A sprain can cause traumatic damage to the ankle bone, leading to swelling and pain in the ankle cartilage, difficulty walking, etc. You can take Sanqi Shangpian, Huoxue Zhitong Pian, or Ibuprofen Sustained Release Capsules as recommended by your doctor.
Ankle Fractures: If the sprain is more severe, it can lead to ankle fractures, swelling, pain, and movement disorders. It is necessary to go to the hospital promptly and use plaster fixation or a foot brake under the operation of a professional doctor to timely control the progression of the disease.
Besides the above reasons, fractures may also occur. During treatment, it is important to rest adequately and avoid premature ambulation.
