SPRAINS -
Joints are all the
places in our
bodies where two bones are joined together: fingers, wrists, hips, elbows,
ankles. Joints are surrounded and protected by stretchy tissues called
ligaments. When the ligaments get torn and the joint gets twisted out of place,
we call it a sprain. It will feel sore and tender and will look bruised and
swollen. You may have to wear a sling.
