  35. Sprain A sprain occurs when a ligament at a joint gets stretched and torn. Twisting your foot when running can give you a sprained ankle. Some sprains are minor. But in a severe sprain the ligament is badly torn and the injury looks like a fracture. If in doubt, treat it as a fracture

  36. Sprain Signs and symptoms • There is pain and tenderness around the joint, and movement makes it worse. • Swelling appears around the joint, followed later by bruising. What can you do • If in doubt, follow the instructions for a fracture • For minor sprains follow the RICE routine
