Both sprains and strains are common injuries, but they’re not the same. A sprain happens when you stretch or tear a ligament, which is the tissue that connects bones at a joint. This often happens in the ankle or wrist. A strain, on the other hand, is when a muscle or tendon gets stretched or torn. It’s more likely to happen in areas like the back or hamstrings. Both injuries can cause pain and swelling, but sprains might also cause bruising. Resting the injured area, applying ice, and elevating it can help. If the injury is severe, you may need to see a doctor.
