Ankle Injury
Your ankle supports your entire body weight, so it comes as no surprise that injuries to the ankle are common. Around two million people are treated each year for problems associated with ankle injuries.
A sprain is the most common injury that you can sustain to your ankle. The most common sprain to your ankle is an inversion sprain, which is when your ankle rolls over on the outside.
Spraining your ankle can lead to a lot of discomfort; as well as the pain and swelling that it can cause, it also leaves you with stretched and torn ligaments. A strain to your ankle can be caused by a number of factors such as a sports accident or a trip/fall due to things such as uneven pavement.
If you do suffer a sprain to your ankle you should rest it, put ice on it and compressive bandages as well as elevating it. In severe cases you may lose the motion in your ankle all together, which is why it is important to seek medical help right away if it is needed.
Sadly if you have suffered from an ankle injury you could be left out of work for a length of time. On average an ankle injury takes several weeks or months to heal completely, leaving you out of pocket and even restricting your daily life. If your ankle injury was through no fault of your own you could be entitled to compensation.
