10 Symptoms of a Sprained Ankle
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Awkward Gait
An injury to one part of your body can often have an effect on the rest of your body. One such example is with a sprained ankle as it can cause the patient to develop an unusual gait. Limping is very likely because of the pain and the limp itself can make walking a lot more difficult than usual.
As the wound heals and the pain subsides, though, the patient should be able to walk as they usually would. If the damage has been severe enough, though, then the ability to walk freely might never fully recover. If you are having difficulty walking sometime after you have sprained an ankle, you should consider speaking with a specialist.
