It's if you've stepped or landed hard on your foot and caused it to sort of twist underneath you. Nothing is broken, but it's pulled hard on the tendons and the parts of the joint. There's usually swelling, and tenderness and there might be some discoloration. With some rest and the use of a supporting bandage it's usually OK after a few days.
Wrap it with an elastic bandage to support it and keep it from moving. Apply ice every 30 minutes for 10-15 minutes at a time. Take an NSAID for pain if needed (ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin).

If left untreated, a sprained wrist can lead to chronic pain, weakness, stiffness, and decreased mobility in the affected wrist. In severe cases, not treating a sprained wrist promptly can result in long-term damage to the ligaments and surrounding structures. It is best to seek proper medical treatment to prevent complications and promote healing.
