Sprains and Strains Symptoms
Symptoms of Strains and Sprains
The following are the most common symptoms of a sprain or strain. However, each person may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- Pain in the injured area (The patient typically may guard or protect this area from being touched or looked at.)
- Swelling in the injured area
- Difficulty using or moving the injured area in a normal manner (The patient may have limited use or may not use the injured area at all. The patient may walk with a limp if the injury occurred in the hip, leg, ankle, or foot area.)
- Warmth, bruising, or redness in the injured area
The symptoms of a sprain or strain may resemble other conditions. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
