message: Do we really need a citation for this..? Ice kept on too long causes cold injuries. It's common sense, what do you think can happen exactly? 93.33.245.206 (talk) 18:06, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Logically, you're going to get frostbite-style damage if you freeze tissue.  It would be could to get some sort of citation for that.  BTW, I've come to this page because I twisted my ankle a few minutes ago.  It’s swollen up like a balloon.  I hobbled over to the computer to learn what to do about it.  — Chameleon 08:34, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Any idea why this article is separate from the more generic Sprain?  Are sprained ankles really that different that sprains in general?

thread_title:  Merge? 

message: I propose that this article be merged into Sprain because the differentiation of an ankle sprain from a sprain in general is not so great as to rate a separate article.  WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  New information for Rehabilitation of Ankle sprains 

message: Citation might be needed here, or the comment pulled. There seems to be no peer-reviewed research supporting that any shoe can cause or prevent a specific injury. In addition, heel-cushioned shoes would seem to act in opposition to three of the other ultimate causes of ankle injury mentioned: stronger ankles, inadequate joint proprioception, and slow neuron muscular response to an off-balance position.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.126.224.207 (talk) 02:22, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation for "inadequate shoe heel support" causing sprains? 

message: There is this 'advice' under 'Conservative Measuares':
If the ankle is not swollen, if it just hurts to walk on and has limited mobilization, it is generally recommended that the injured person wears an orthopedic walking boot for two weeks and is on crutches for the first week at least.
There is no reference for this, and the information is highly inaccurate.  Unless a reference can be provided for it ( and I cannot find one), I propose this be deleted.  Does anyone have any comments on this?  86.172.33.142 (talk) 21:27, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I just came here investigating the same claim as suspicious. It doesn't match anything else I can find on the topic. Since it's unreferenced and you now challenged it more than 6 months ago, I'm just going to remove it. Thanks, User:Glenn Willen (Talk) 20:22, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Unreferenced, inaccurate information for removal

message: Lots of places say rest, icing, compression, elevation is the right treatment, mostly to lower the risk of further injury and reduce swelling. But .. why is reducing swelling important? There must be a doctor on Wikipedia who can speak to that. Here is a long article with references basically saying it is an open question: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/27328/why-should-we-try-to-reduce-swelling-after-injury.
