Tips to quickly cure sprains at home

Below are some extremely effective tips for treating sprains that you should keep in mind!

A sprain is an injury to the ligaments of a joint, caused by excessive movement, causing the joint to suddenly move for a moment and then return to its original position. The patient does not have a dislocation or fracture. The injury often occurs when wearing high heels and the shoes come off, or when falling while running or jumping.

When a sprain occurs, the patient feels a sharp pain like an electric shock in the sprained joint, then the joint becomes numb and no longer feels pain. About 1 hour later, the pain gradually returns. If the joint is gently turned over like when it was injured, the patient will feel a sharp pain like an electric shock. Sprains are usually divided into 3 degrees:

- Grade 1: The ligament is only slightly stretched, considered mild.

- Grade 2: Partially torn ligament, severe signs.

- Grade 3: The ligament is completely torn, a very serious sign.
