The knee is one of those areas most likely to get injured because it takes the blunt of bending and pressure while moving. It’s bend supports the body's entire weight and while the knee is supported by tendons and ligaments, a quick twist can partially tear or strain one of these ligaments and tendons.
Healing from an ankle injury is can more complicated than most people think. The biggest problem with an ankle sprain is that because the muscles surrounding the ankle are extremely weak, they can no longer support the body’s weight and balance.
