After an ankle injury, you should pay attention to avoid the following mistakes: take off your shoes immediately. An ankle injury may not seem serious, but it may damage muscles, tendons, ligaments or bones. Taking off shoes in a hurry, especially shoes that are too tight, may cause secondary injuries. Therefore, if the ankle is bruised, swollen and painful after injury, don't take off your shoes in a hurry. It is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment at the first time. After an ankle sprain, some people will rotate or massage the ankle to confirm the injury or promote recovery. As we all know, random twisting and massage may aggravate the symptoms of the injured part.
Applying blood-activating drugs, such as safflower oil, after capillary rupture, can promote blood flow faster and aggravate swelling. Therefore, in the acute stage of injury (within 24 hours), if you rub with safflower oil, it will aggravate the bleeding and swelling of the injured part. Paste the medicine and apply the ointment to the wound. Dieshang ointment can make drugs quickly penetrate into the skin, resulting in the effects of promoting blood circulation, benefiting qi, relaxing muscles and resolving hard mass. However, if the sprain has been fractured, plaster casting can only temporarily relieve the superficial symptoms, and the fracture site will not grow well, and it is easy to dislocate, and even lead to bone deformity.
After the above emergency treatment, ankle injury should be treated by joint or sports medicine experts in the hospital as soon as possible. If there is an ankle fracture, surgery is generally needed; It is suggested that minimally invasive arthroscopic ankle surgery should be performed 6 ~ 8 weeks after ankle injury: MRI shows persistent pain, unstable or repeated sprain of joint, ligament injury or cartilage injury; In addition, sports rehabilitation is very important for the recovery of ankle joint function.
