A sprain occurs when a ligament near a joint gets overstretched or torn. Ligaments are tough, fibrous bands of tissue which connect one bone to another bone. These injuries occur due to a high-impact force directed at the area or by any twisting or rolling of a joint Symptoms of a sprain include pain, swelling, and bruising of the affected area, a limited range of motion, and difficulty putting weight or pressure on the joint.
The most noticeable pain when dealing with a sprain is when weight is applied to the joint, such as pain felt while walking on an ankle sprain. Less noticeable is the pain when touching the joint. Most of the time, the affected area is tender to touch. You should be careful not to touch or press too hard on the area in order to leave the injury to heal as fast and productively as possible.
More severe types of sprain injuries may be very tender to touch, while mild sprains may cause no pain upon touching. The best way to fix this issue is by following the treatment that your doctor has prescribed you to heal in the best, safest, and quickest manner possible.
