What is NOT a symptom of a sprain?

A sprain involves the overstretching or tearing of ligaments, which are the tough bands of tissue connecting bones at a joint. Symptoms typically include pain and tenderness around the affected joint, swelling in the area due to inflammation, and a limited range of motion as a result of both pain and damage to the ligaments.

The option indicating bone protrusion from the skin refers to a fracture, not a sprain. In a sprain, the integrity of the bones remains intact, and there is no bone displacement. Recognizing the distinction between these injuries is important for proper diagnosis and treatment.
