What is ligaments tare?

A ligament tear is when a ligament is torn, or ripped just a little. Ligaments are part of a muscle. The key word is "tear" pronounced "tare". English can be confusing.


Why is a torn ligament less painful?

A torn ligament may be less painful initially because the tearing of the ligament can result in the disruption of nerve fibers, temporarily reducing pain signals. However, as the injury progresses and inflammation sets in, the pain can become more intense. Additionally, the severity and location of the tear can also impact the level of pain experienced.


How do you treat the torn tendon in the wrist?

The R.I.C.E method. No, not rice! Rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Don't use your sprain unless you have to. Put some ice on it, it'll feel better n no time. Compress the sprain by wrapping it in an elastic bandage. This will help support it, so it doesn't move and put more strain on the sprain. Elevate it on a cushion or pillow, as to keep the sprain above the patient's heart if at all possible. And by the way, a torn ligament and a sprain are the same thing! So, hopefully this will help with your torn ligament (sprain). while i agree with most of the above answer, the statement about a sprain and a torn ligament being the same are not. it depends on the severity of the sprain. a grade 1 sprain may have overstretched the ligament where a grade 2 has actually torn the ligament so that part is inaccurate. just thought i would add that extra information since i recently suffered a grade 3 strain (torn ligament) that required surgery!
