Sprain

The symptoms of a ligament sprain may range from mild to severe depending on the grade of injury. Sprains commonly occur in the back, neck, knee, wrist and ankle. You may experience:

• Pain or tenderness.
• Swelling, inflammation and soreness.
• Heaviness and weakness.
• Redness, discoloration and bruising.
• Restricted range of motion.
• Inability to bear weight.

Sudden or unusual twisting movements and falls can lead to ligament sprain. Some causes include:

• Losing balance and falling abruptly.
• Hormonal imbalances in females.
• Trauma, accidents, or repetitive overuse.
• Heavy weight lifting in a wrong posture.

The doctor will clinically assess sensation, range of motion, tenderness, and muscle power. Diagnostic imaging may be required. Tests include:

• X-ray
• MRI
• CT scan
• Ultrasonography
