Acute injuries, such as a sprained ankle, strained back, or fractured hand, occur suddenly during activity. Signs of an acute injury include: * sudden, severe pain * swelling * inability to place weight on a lower limb * extreme tenderness in an upper limb * inability to move a joint through full range of motion * extreme limb weakness * visible dislocation / break of a bone
