Sprains and strains, what's the difference? Did you sprain your ankle or strain your ankle? Is there any difference in treatment?

Sprain

A sprain is an injury in which you stretch or tear a ligament. A ligament is a piece of connector tissue that connects bones to a joint.

Sprains can be minor, in which case tearing is only partial or the ligament was only over-stretched; they also can be serious, in which case a ligament is torn completely. If several ligaments are torn or stretched too much, the sprain can be quite debilitating.

Strain

A strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon, which is a piece of connector tissue that connects a muscle or group of muscles to a bone. Strains can be minor, where the muscle or tendon is simply over-stretched or partially torn, or quite serious because the muscle or tendon is actually torn.

Strain and Sprain Treatment

Treatment for sprains and strains is the same. You will want to make sure you immobilize the injured part initially, then elevate that body part, ice it to reduce swelling and take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drug, such as ibuprofen or Aleve. Fish oil caplets are believed to also have an anti-inflammatory effect on injured body parts, so you might want to take this harmless supplement as well.

If the strain or sprain is serious, you will want to see a doctor for an evaluation. Your doctor may immobilize the body part with a traditional cast, an air cast or a bandage wrap or sling so the injured ligament, tendon or muscle can heal completely. In some cases, surgery is necessary to re-attach the torn ligament or tendon.

After the sprained or strained ligament, muscle or tendon heals, it will be very tight from the immobilization, so you will have to begin a gentle stretching and rehabilitation routine to for stretching purposes. You may want to see a physical therapist to learn stretches and exercises that will strengthen the muscles surrounding the injured body part to protect against future injury.

Cats are Way Better than Dogs (I'll Even Bet My Poker Chip Set on It)

Some couplings are just meant to be: peanut butter and jelly, yin and yang, Mork and Mindy, and of course my absolute favorite man (or woman) and cat. Don’t get me wrong, dogs do make pretty great pets, but cats are better, in almost every way and I’ll even bet my poker chip set on it. Not convinced yet? Well here’s why:

1. Cats are a zillion times easier to care for than dogs. You don’t have to take them out for annoying walks and you don’t have to bathe them. They figure out all of this stuff on their own.
2. Cats have the common courtesy and decency to use a litter box, which prevents all of their business from getting all over your backyard or worse, your carpet.
3. Cats have actual personalities. You never know what you’re going to get with a feline, but all dogs are the same: hyper, dumb and obsessed with Frisbees.
4. Cats don’t eat their own poop, or anyone else’s for that matter. Why the heck do dogs do that? Gross.
5. Cats are much more independent than dogs. Who knows what they do all day? They disappear on some grand adventure for hours and then they pop back into your lap when you least expect it. On a different note, dogs constantly and incessantly require your undivided attentions.
6. Cats are quiet. Cats seldom make any noise at all, unlike your typical barking, howling, growling, wining, yelping, woofing dog.
7. Cats don’t have disgusting breath. I’ve never met a dog who didn’t have a putrid smelling seeping from their mouth and then to make matter worse, they always find it necessary to slobber it all over your face.
