What does SPRAIN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To injure a joint, such as an ankle or wrist, by wrenching it so that the ligaments are stretched or torn.
A sprain is less serious than a break, since the bone stays whole while the soft tissue around the joint takes the damage. Ankles are the classic victims, often after a bad step on uneven ground or a landing in sport. The word also works as a noun for the injury itself, and treatment usually means rest, ice and support.
