Radiation is a carcinogen and causes numerous effects on living organisms and systems. The environmental impacts of nuclear power plant releases such as the Chernobyl disaster, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and the Three Mile Island accident, among others, persist indefinitely.
Ankle pain is most commonly caused by a sprain. A sprain is an injury to the ligaments connecting the ankle bones. Treatment of sprains includes using crutches, applying ice to the ankle, elevating the foot, using compression bandages, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers.
Ankle sprains result from a twisting action of your feet. They are associated with activities that require a lot of running, jumping and quick changes of direction. A sharp twist or turning of the ankle can stretch and even tear the ligaments that hold the ankle joint in place causing a sprain.
