This shows you a stretched ligament and a torn ligament in the ankle.

So you might ask, " What is a sprained ankle?" Well a sprained ankle is when you have stretched or torn a ligament or muscle in your ankle. This occurs when your ankle is forced out of its normal position which causes the ligaments or muscles to be stretched or torn. Athletes are most likely to get and ankle sprain like soccer players or football players. To treat a sprained ankle, you can use the acronym PRICE. This stands for protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation. If it is severe enough, you might need to have surgery to repair the torn ligament.

There are many joint disorders but the one I will be talking about is a sprained ankle.

Senile Kyphosis
Senile kyphosis occurs when you get old and age. This decreases bone mass and increases risk of fractures. Usually and underlying condition is the main cause of senile kyphosis. Peopl may not notice or feel when they are developing senile kyphosis but overtime, it can affect other body systems. Some of the symptoms for senile kyphosis are dificulty sleeping, difficulty breathing, and feeling full after eating little. Treatment for this disorder is to treat the underlying condition with medication and surgery if needed. Also invasive procedures like kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty can help correct the vertebral deformity and relieve pain.
