A sprained ankle is similar to a twisted ankle but to a greater degree. When you sprain your ankle, it means you have stretched, and possibly even torn, the ligaments of your ankle. If your ankle is swollen, bruised and painful after you twist it, then you have most likely sprained it.

In general, a broken foot tends to be more painful than a sprained foot, and the pain lasts longer. Bruising, swelling, and tenderness are also more severe if your foot is broken. Another way to tell the difference between a broken foot and sprained foot is the sound the body makes when the injury occurs.

The high ankle sprain injures the ligaments connecting the two bones of the lower leg (the tibia and fibula) at the ankle joint. The medial ankle sprain injures the inside ligaments, collectively referred to as the deltoid ligament. The low ankle sprain involves the ligaments supporting the subtalar joint.

People usually feel immediate pain at the site of an ankle sprain. Often the ankle starts to swell immediately and may develop bruising. The affected area is usually tender to touch and may feel "wobbly" or unstable. In a mild sprain, swelling usually goes down within a few days.

By far the most common cause of sharp ankle pain that comes and goes is scar tissue at the outside of the ankle! Causes of scar tissue in the ankle include problems with the way your ankle moves, problems related to high arches, problems with flat feet or a history of ankle sprains.

Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about the timing of strengthening exercises for the ankle. Typically you can start them when you are able to stand without increased pain or swelling. Do 8 to 12 repetitions of these exercises once or twice daily for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the severity of your injury.

Ligaments. The ankle joint is bound by the strong deltoid ligament and three lateral ligaments: the anterior talofibular ligament, the posterior talofibular ligament, and the calcaneofibular ligament.

The most serious sprain involves a complete tear of the ligaments with marked instability that often requires surgery. Fortunately, most sprains are Grade I or II and heal in three to six weeks. The exceptions are those that continue to cause trouble. This is the "sprained ankle that won't heal."

An x-ray is an essential for diagnosing fractures, or broken bones. If you have a sprained ankle, you don't need an x-ray. However, it might be difficult to tell the difference between a sprain or a bone fracture, so if your symptoms worsen over time, it's best to seek medical attention.

It, along with other ligaments and bones, maintains stability in the ankle joint, protecting it from force. When a ligament in the ankle becomes bruised, stretched, or torn, a “sprain injury” occurs, restricting the motion of the ankle.
