An ankle sprain
The name of the ligament that provides support against a varus or inversion sprain of the ankle is the lateral ankle ligament. It is also called the anterior talofibular ligament .
The most common type is the inversion ankle sprain, in which the ankle rolls over on the outside.
It is generally easier to sprain your ankle than to break it. A sprain is a stretching or tearing of the ligaments, while a break is a fracture in the bone. The recovery time and treatment for a sprain are typically less extensive than for a break.
You will sprain your ankle.
An avulsion lateral malleolus is a type of ankle injury where a piece of bone is torn away from the main portion of the lateral malleolus, which is the bony prominence on the outer side of the ankle. It is often caused by a sudden twisting or outward movement of the foot and can result in pain, swelling, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected ankle. Treatment may involve rest, immobilization, and sometimes surgery to reattach the avulsed fragment.
The lateral ankle projection is called a mortise view. It involves internally rotating the foot to provide a clear view of the ankle joint space and alignment of the distal tibia and fibula with the talus bone. This projection is commonly used in diagnosing ankle injuries such as fractures or dislocations.
It's a sprain in the upper ligament of your ankle. These are usually much more painful and take longer to heal. (I had one about 2 months ago and they suck). The only good part is that with a high ankle sprain there is less of a chance of recurring problems as compared to a low ankle sprain aka. regular sprain.
Yes. The amount of swelling depends on several things, such as how bad the sprain is, how strong your ankle is, whether this is your first sprain, and how fast you get ice and compression on it.

Twist it
This is what a foot sprain would feel like. Pain with movement or activity over the affected site. Swelling on the outside or inside of the foot or ankle. Walking with a limp. Bruising around the inside or outside of the foot or ankle. Hope you feel better. #Sabrina
