Item description

Walking on a torn ankle ligament depends on the severity of the tear and the level of pain and swelling. Here's a breakdown:

Mild Tear (Grade I):
- Slight overstretching of the ligament, minimal tearing.
- Possible, though it might be uncomfortable. Rest and wearing supportive footwear are advised.

Moderate Tear (Grade II):
- Partial tear of the ligament, noticeable swelling, bruising, and reduced range of motion.
- May be possible but will be painful and difficult. Walking could worsen the injury, so using crutches and avoiding weight-bearing is recommended.

Severe Tear (Grade III):
- Complete tear of the ligament, significant swelling, bruising, and instability in the ankle.
- Not advisable. The instability and pain can increase the risk of further injury. A brace, splint, or crutches might be necessary.

Walking on a torn ligament without proper healing and rehabilitation can lead to chronic instability or repeated injuries. Always consult a healthcare professional for a personalized recovery plan.
