Ed "turns over" his ankle while playing tennis. he experiences swelling and pain, but after examination, he is told that there are no torn ligaments and that the structure of the ankle is not affected. on the basis of the signs and symptoms and the examination results, what do you think happened to ed's ankle?

The most likely scenario is that Ed has a "sprained" ankle. This means he could have a "pulled" a ligament which means that ligament hasn't been teared but there is some micro damage done to it which would explain the symptoms such as swelling and pain.
