 Ahhh, this one is easy.  I love when a patient comes into my examination room and tells me this.  I always ask, "Does it feel better after about 20 minutes of walking around a bit?"  If the answer is yes,...

Ankle sprain...why do you hurt me so?
I was asked a while back to talk about ankle sprains; what they are, how they occur, how to treat it, can you die from it?  One of the big concerns however was what in the hell is a...
