What medicine should I use for ankle ligament sprain?

There are ligaments distributed in some important joints of the human body, so during daily exercise, you must protect your ligaments to avoid ligament sprains. There are also ligaments distributed around the human ankle joint. Many people sprain their ankles due to carelessness when walking in daily life, which also causes damage to the ligaments. So what medicine should be used to treat a person's ankle ligament sprain?

If the ankle is sprained and there is no problem with the bones, it is still necessary to immobilize it. It is best to fix it with an elastic bandage for a few days to prevent it from moving and promote its repair. You don't need to take penicillin V potassium tablets because there is no external injury and infection will not occur, so antibiotics are not needed.

It is recommended to use acupuncture. Clinically, I use acupuncture to treat patients with ankle sprains without fractures. Left and right acupuncture or upper and lower acupuncture has a very good effect. Generally, only a few times are needed. If you are unwilling or inconvenient for acupuncture, you can use hot compresses, external application of Voltaren, Yunnan Baiyao spray, etc. You can continue to take some medicines.

No matter what treatment method is used, a good rest is necessary and is also an important guarantee for complete recovery, so you must pay attention to rest. When resting, you can raise the affected limb to facilitate blood return.

It is normal to cause ankle ligament sprain due to accidental injuries in life. The main symptoms of ankle ligament sprain are swelling and congestion. Ankle ligament sprain brings great pain to the patient's life. Ankle ligament sprain may cause meridian obstruction and affect qi and blood. Pain is the main symptom of patients with ankle ligament sprain. It can be said that if ankle ligament sprain is not handled properly, the consequences will be very serious.

Causes of ankle ligament sprains

1

Ankle ligament sprain brings great inconvenience to daily life, so timely treatment according to the patient's physical condition is important. Eliminating swelling and pain is the most critical step in treating ankle ligament sprain.

2

The ligament sprain on the outside of the ankle joint is what we usually call a sprained foot; the ligament is the tissue that connects two bones. Swelling and congestion will appear at the site of the ligament sprain. Ligament sprain is caused by external force that causes the joint to move beyond the normal physiological range, resulting in the ligament sprain, partial rupture or complete rupture around the joint. This is called a joint ligament sprain. After a joint ligament is sprained, there will be local swelling, pain, tenderness, and if there is subcutaneous bleeding, a cyanotic area may be seen.

3

It is very important to treat joint ligament sprains correctly in the early stages. Because ligament tissue is not easy to regenerate and recover, if it is not treated properly or misdiagnosed and turns into a chronic disease, it may leave functional impairment and be prone to sprain again in the future. Common symptoms of ligament injury include local swelling, pain, bruising, and limited limb movement.

The etiology and pathogenesis are external forces that damage the tendons, muscles and bones, leading to obstruction of the meridians and stagnation of qi and blood. After the injury, the injured area becomes swollen and congested, the meridians are blocked, and the qi and blood are blocked. Traditional Chinese medicine plasters can be applied externally to relax muscles and activate blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain, promote blood circulation and disperse blood stasis, dispel wind and cold, and transmit the effects to meridians, tendons and bones through the skin, stimulating the body's regulatory function, which can quickly eliminate swelling and pain, promote functional recovery and quickly achieve the goal of healing.

Apply pressure using an ankle brace or splint plaster to fix the ankle joint to the loose position of the damaged ligament, which is beneficial to the repair of the ligament.
