👟 A high ankle sprain is a significant injury and can sideline an athlete much longer than a typical ankle sprain. Ankle injuries are among the most common injuries in sports, constituting approximately 10% of all acute injuries that physicians treat. A sprained ankle can occur on the lateral side of the ankle which is (most common), the medial side of the ankle (least common) or can occur as a syndesmotic sprain when the ligaments between the distal tibia and fibula are injured, also known as a high ankle sprain.

Recovery from a mild high ankle sprain may take several weeks, and recovery from a severe high ankle sprain may take several months. It’s important to note that all ankle sprains are not the same. High ankle sprains take longer to heal.

🚴🏾‍♀️ Iliotibial Band Syndrome: People who participate in intense physical training, such as runners and cyclists, are the most susceptible to developing annoying IT band syndrome.

People with Iliotibial Band Syndrome experience a sharp pain that comes and goes typically over the outside of the knee. Over time, the pain may become more pronounced. The iliotibial band is a wide strip of fibrous tissue extending down the upper leg's outside. One of its functions is to help stabilize the knee joint. Do you have knee pain?
