A 1st degree sprain, also known as a mild sprain, involves the overstretching or slight tearing of ligaments, which are the tissues connecting bones at a joint. Symptoms typically include mild pain, swelling, and tenderness around the affected area, but joint stability is mostly preserved. This type of sprain usually heals within a few days to a week with proper rest and care. Treatment often includes ice, compression, elevation, and over-the-counter pain relief.

A second-degree sprain is more severe, featuring partial tearing of the ligament, resulting in moderate pain, swelling, and some joint instability.
