Sprainâcomplete or incomplete tear in supporting ligaments surrounding a joint caused by a twisting or wrenching motion. Strainâacute or chronic injury to a muscle or tendinous attachment caused by stress, overuse, or over stretching. Classified as mild, moderate, or severe (see Classifying sprains and strains)
A sprain is a stretched or torn ligament. Ligaments are tissues that connect bones at a joint. Falling, twisting, or getting hit can all cause a sprain. Ankle and wrist sprains are common. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and being unable to move your joint. You might feel a pop or tear when the injury happens. A strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscle to bone.
