What are the symptoms of ankle bone hairline fracture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most fractures that aren't compound in nature first and foremost hurt like hell; second, they always swell up a lot; and depending on the severity, they may or may not bruise, but usually if the bone is fractured bruising does occur - at least it has in every fracture I've ever had, and that's quite a few.

The only way to determine for sure of course is with an X-ray, but they normally want you to wait until the swelling goes down before taking it as swelling impedes the picture of the bone. Many X-rays in the past that were taken immediately after an injury would show no fracture, but on re-examination and another X-ray after swelling had gone down, the fracture would be seen. That's why today they usually make you wait before taking one if you're swollen as they know the picture won't be as accurate.

If it has a numbness and aching feeling to it and it effects the first three fingers and symptoms are worse at night you should be evaluated for carpal tunnel symptoms. If you have finger joint pain and stiffness that starts in the morning and gets better as you move around that may be arthritis. If you have pain that gets worse with movement and it feels like it's on the top of your hand, this could be tendonitis.

Should i put my sprained ankle in cold water first or hot water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally, after 24 hours.

In the first minutes and hours following the injury, follow the acronym RICE:

Rest it,
Ice it (to reduce swelling, but for no more than 20 minutes at a time),
Compress (wrap) it,
Elevate it (above the level of the heart, which for an injured ankle usually means lying down).

Once the initial damage has been minimized by doing the above, providing heat will increase blood flow, speeding nutrients to the site of the injury and promoting healing.
