A sprained ankle happens when whilst moving the person twists, rolls or turns the improper way because of footing on the wrong environment (walking over uneven surfaces) or doing a sudden movement that requires twisting such as playing sports. This causes a stretch/ tear one or more of the ligaments and as results can cause these symptoms.

Signs and Symptoms

• Bruising
• Inability to move the ankle as much
• Popping sound/ sensation at the time of injury
• Swelling
• Pain, especially when trying to stand on the injured ankle
