What Does It Mean To ‘Roll’ Your Ankle?

Have you ever been out running and stumbled across a small divet or drop-off that you weren’t expecting? That quick, sudden rush of catching yourself. …The immediate loss of balance before regaining control… Realizing that you may or may not have rolled your ankle… A common occurrence for many active people.

Rolling your ankle can vary in seriousness. The level of attention the injury may need truly depends on some of the symptoms you experience following the incident. Often times, ‘rolling your ankle’ occurs when the literal action of your ankle rolling forward happens before your leg can catch up. As a result, your ankle twists the ligaments away from their normal position and causes an immediate sharp pain. Following the incident, you might slow down or even stop your movement to assess the situation.

Some of the symptoms you may or may not experience after sudden ankle trauma include:

  • Soreness
  • Swelling
  • Tenderness when walking
  • Redness
  • Heat around ankle

Every ankle issue is different and should all be assessed individually based on the symptoms and parameters of the incident. However, sometimes people who experience discomfort in their ankle after tripping or falling use bandage or pressure wraps to make their ankles feel more compressed and at ease while moving. It is also common for people to use ice or cold-compresses on the affected area to help reduce swelling and inflammation.

Whether it’s rolling your ankle during a soccer game or stumbling across a small hole on a jogging trail, an ankle injury isn’t cut-and-dry. While often it’s just temporary swelling and discomfort, there’s always a possibility of a more significant sprain, tear or break. Seeking proper medical attention for ankle problems that include sharp and consistent pain, which may prevent you from walking and moving around, is advised.

  1. Superb blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  2. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  3. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

  4. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.

  5. Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.

  13. Right now it sounds like Movable Type is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

  14. Very good site you have here but I was curious if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about in this article? I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get opinions from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thank you!

  15. Neat blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme. Thanks a lot

    Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks

  19. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

  20. Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!
