10 Symptoms of a Sprained Ankle
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Tenderness
After an injury, your body is going to be hard at work fixing everything. During this time, the area will still be suffering from damage until it can be repaired. The repair process might take some time to occur. A sprained ankle can be tender to the touch for days or even weeks after the injury takes place.
Touching any part of the injury site can be very painful indeed. Patients should try and keep the injured ankle out of the way to prevent it from being bumped into accidentally. If the tenderness is particularly difficult to bear then painkillers and other remedies could help relieve the symptoms.
