Acute (short-term) pain may be a signal that your body is experiencing—or has experienced—some type of tissue damage.

What is a strain?

Strains occur when a tendon or muscle is stretched too far. Tendons connect muscles to bones.

What is a sprain?

Sprains occur when a ligament is stretched too far and are most common in ankles and wrists. Ligaments connect bones and support joints.

What is a contusion?

Contusions are the result of blunt impact against the skin.
