sprained ankle!

I dont know about you guys but I feared IR, torn up knees, something horrible. A sprained ankle means maximum one-two weeks out.

Weird, I had posted a report the other day from 12 news that said fracture, in a boot, 2-4 weeks. I sure hope you are right...

A sprain, also known as a torn ligament, is damage to one or more ligaments in a joint, often caused by trauma or the joint being taken beyond its functional range of motion. The severity of sprain ranges from a minor injury which resolves in a few days to a major rupture of one or more ligaments requiring surgical fixation and a period of immobilisation. Sprains can occur in any joint but are most common in the ankle and wrist."

so a sprain is aka a torn ligament? somehow sprain sounds a lot more benign.

A sprain is NOT a TORN ligament--it is a STRETCHED ligament. Take it from someone who has had both injuries to his ankles in his lifetime. There's a big, big difference.

The most mild sprains could entail a stretched ligament, but it is not generally true to say that "A sprain is NOT a TORN ligament". Here's more from WebMD (http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/understanding-sprains-strains#2):

Sprains are graded on a scale of I to III:

• Grade I is stretching of the ligament or a very mild tear, with little to no instability at the joint.
• Grade II is a more serious but still incomplete tear.
• Grade III is a completely torn or ruptured ligament. This is not a broken bone, but can feel like one since it is often impossible to put weight on the joint or use the affected limb."

Without knowing whether Iupati has a Grade I, II, or III sprain, there's no way to know whether there's even a chance that it's "just" a stretched ligament.

I've had the III sprain (complete sever of exterior ligament and #II of ligament on top) - if it's a III it could easily mean 6+ weeks.

he is not on IR so I assume it is not a grade 3

 

[cardsfanmd]

A sprain is often worse than a break. I wouldn't necessarily call this good news.

 

[BillsCarnage]

I sprain my brain with this thread.

Just don't know the grade of the sprain yet.
