An injury to a leg is almost always a loss from life for a certain period of time. Unfortunately, this happens quite often. Especially in winter, when it is very easy to slip on ice and injure limbs. A problem like a sprained leg should be addressed as soon as possible.
Leg stretching: what to do to relieve the condition?
Sprained leg ligaments: symptoms and problems
Fortunately, sprains are the easiest injuries. Of course, when compared with dislocations or fractures. But it is important to approach the solution of the problem with all responsibility so that rehabilitation goes as quickly as possible.
The main symptoms of damage to the ligaments on the leg:
- đau dữ dội;
- swelling of the joint;
- the occurrence of a hematoma is possible due to micro-tears in the ligaments.
First of all, with such an injury, it is necessary to consult a traumatologist so that he excludes serious damage to muscles, ligaments or even bones. Especially should be alerted by the inability to move a limb.
The legs are subject to more serious stress, so it is important to avoid tearing or even rupture of the ligaments, not to mention damage to the joint
What to do when a leg is stretched?
Proper provision of first aid plays a huge role in the further course of the rehabilitation period for such an injury as a sprained leg. It is important to respond in time and help the injured person correctly so as not to aggravate his condition.

- Apply a bandage made of elastic bandage or available pieces of cloth to immobilize and slightly squeeze the damaged area. It is important that immobility of the limb is achieved.
- If the pain is severe, a cold compress should be used. But no more than 2 hours.
- It is worth raising the limb so that the swelling is not too severe.
- It is advisable to lubricate the damaged area with anesthetic and anti-inflammatory ointments.
- If you suspect a more serious injury – an unnatural leg position, too much mobility or complete immobility of the joint – you should immediately contact a traumatologist.
The recovery period with competently provided first aid can be met literally in 10 days. You just need to remember to treat the damaged limb with ointments and try not to load the injured limb. And then the ligaments will heal quickly enough. It is important to remember: even if the injury, it would seem, has already passed, you cannot immediately put a serious load on your legs. That is, no sports or carrying weights.
