Ankle sprains
Ankle sprains are one of the most common types of injury. When an ankle is twisted, the ligaments are overstretched. In the worst case, they might tear. Small blood vessels tear too, causing the swelling around the ankle. Read about first aid measures, the treatment options and what can help to stabilize the joint.
Tenosynovitis
If a tendon sheath is overused, it can become inflamed and swollen. Known as tenosynovitis, this most commonly occurs in the hands, arms and feet. The pain usually goes away if you keep the inflamed area still. If it doesn’t go away, various treatments are considered.
