It all depends on what&#8217;s happened inside your body. Have you torn a ligament? Have you fractured your ankle? The signs might not be as obvious as you may have thought. Depending on the severity of your injury, you might want to pay a visit to the <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/docsmedicalgroup.com\/docsurgentcare\/fairfield\/\">Fairfield Urgent Care center<\/a> to be checked out.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Defining the main differences between fractures, sprains, and strains isn\u2019t an easy task. We\u2019ll guide you through what each type of injury is, the symptoms pertaining to each and what treatment you should seek.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">What Causes Breaks, Sprains &amp; Strains?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Every now and then our bodies work overtime. We put pressure on ourselves in ways that we shouldn\u2019t which can cause the occasional strain or sprain or the unfortunate fracture. Here are some common reasons for injuries:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Motor vehicle accidents<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Tripping or falling<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Exercising (running or jogging)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Overexerting your body<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The most obvious kind of broken bone or fracture is when a bone is protruding from the skin, which is called an open fracture or compound fracture. During your injury if you happen to hear a pop or grinding sound, this is also an indication.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">This is not an easy injury to diagnosis just from looking at it. The best way to know if you have fractured a joint is to receive a proper x-ray.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><b>Signs of a Fracture:<\/b><\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You may hear or feel a pop, snap or grinding noise during the injury<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Swelling, bruising, tenderness of the area<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Pain when pressure is applied.

Most of us will confuse a sprain with a break because the pain level is comparable. More often than not, a sprain will occur in the ankle.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><b>Symptoms of a Sprain:<\/b><\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Pain, Swelling, Bruising,<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">A possible \u201cpop\u201d during the injury<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Limited range of motion<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">What Happens During a Strain?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">A strain is an injury that occurs in a muscle or tendon (fibrous cords of tissues that connect bone and muscle). Strains come in three grades depending on the damage that has happened. A Grade 1 strain is the stretching of a few muscle fibers, Grade 2 is when more muscle fibers have been damaged or torn and Grade 3 is when the muscle completely ruptures.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><b>Symptoms of a Strain:<\/b><\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Pain, swelling, muscle spasm<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Limited mobility and flexibility in the injured area<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Limited ability in moving the joint\u2019s full range of motion<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">How Do I Tell A Sprain from a Strain?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">If you experience a sprain or a strain, you will have pain and swelling. Both of these injuries will happen because your body is under physical stress. During this time, muscles and joints are performing movements they normally wouldn\u2019t be.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The big difference between the two is that a sprain will have bruising while a strain will bring on muscle spasms. Both types of injury will also affect your mobility.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Treatment for Sprained or Strained Joints<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">If it turns out that you have a sprain or a strain, there\u2019s a simple method you can followed called the RICE method, which can also be followed for any type of injury.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Start out by resting. Instead of putting weight (on an ankle) or the affected area, try not to move too much. Next, put some ice on the area to help with any swelling. Do this in 15 minute intervals and at least 3-4 times per day. You will also want to have compression on the area. The best way to do that is to wrap the affected area, but not too tightly. You don\u2019t want to restrict any blood flow from the area causing further damage. Your last step is to elevate. If you raise the injured area above your heart, you can increase blood flow and minimize swelling.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Treatment for a Broken Joint<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">If you are concerned that you have broken or <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/docsmedicalgroup.com\/docsurgentcare\/general-illness\/\">fractured a bone<\/a>, you will have to meet with your doctor for an examination. The most common way to determine a fracture is by having an x-ray. This will show if your bone is still intact or if it is actually broken. Your doctor will also be able to tell what kind of fracture you have and how to prepare you for the next steps.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">On average, a fracture will need several weeks to several months to heal. In order to properly heal, you must follow your doctor\u2019s advice and keep pressure off of the affected joint. If you have a fractured ankle or leg, you will most likely need physical therapy to follow the removal of a cast.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Need To Be Seen Immediately?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">If you are experiencing any of the symptoms for fractures, sprains or strains, you should seek medical attention immediately.
