10 Symptoms of a Sprained Ankle
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Stiffness
Our ankles are very flexible joints that help us to move around with ease. Without such flexibility, movements such as walking up stairs would be far more difficult for us. We tend to take such flexibility for granted but we can soon realize how much we depend on it when something goes wrong.
If you sprain your ankle, it is likely to become far less flexible than before. Movement in any direction will become very limited even if you are able to put aside the pain. The stiffness should subside as the sprain heals, but you should see a doctor if your mobility does not fully recover.
