Ankle sprain
Our body is made of the bones as well as the soft tissue surrounding the bones. Unlike the bones that are visible in the x-ray, these soft tissues that consist of the ligaments (structures connecting two bones) or tendons (the tough condensed ends of the muscles joined to the bone), are not visible in the x-ray plate. If a fracture occurs, a plaster is done, but if soft tissue injury occurs, at least cr\u00eape bandage may be applied to immobilize the area so that it can heal fast. Application of ice provides relief. I would strongly suggest that you get an x-ray done and visit a doctor with the report. Please continue applying ice as well as hot compress. I would not suggest stretching without the guidance of a doctor or a physical therapist.
