How to Tell the Difference between an Ankle Sprain and a Break
Ankle injuries are common, but it can be difficult to tell the difference between a sprained ankle and a broken bone that needs to be set by a physician. A sprained ankle can actually be more painful than a broken one, so pain alone is not a good indicator of your ankle’s condition.
In this video, you will learn how to examine an ankle injury to tell if it is a sprain or a broken bone. Deformities in the shape of the foot or numbness are most indicative of a break. To learn how to alleviate pain and swelling until your injury can be treated by a doctor, be sure to watch this video.
