An ankle ligament tear occurs when the ligaments that support the ankle are stretched or torn, usually due to trauma like twisting, rolling, or high-impact injury. Here are the common symptoms of an ankle ligament tear.
1. Pain - Sharp or throbbing pain immediately after the injury.The pain often worsens with movement or pressure on the ankle.
2. Swelling - Noticeable swelling around the ankle joint, sometimes extending to the foot or lower leg.
3. Bruising - Discoloration or bruising around the ankle, often appearing within a few hours after injury.
4. Instability - Feeling of the ankle "giving way," especially when walking or standing.Difficulty bearing weight on the affected foot.
5. Limited Range of Motion - Stiffness or reduced ability to move the ankle due to pain or swelling.
6. Popping Sensation or Sound - Some people hear or feel a pop at the time of injury, which may indicate a tear.
7. Tenderness - Pain when touching or pressing on the injured area, especially over the ligament itself.
Proper diagnosis (e.g., via physical exam, X-ray, or MRI) is important to rule out fractures and assess the severity of the tear.
