How long to heal sprained ankles

2018-09-10 12:35:07
I am a 37 year old female and I am just getting treated for a sprained ankle. I had a fall some time ago and I just got to get some medical help. My ankles hurt like crazy and I want some quick relief. I want to know the sprained ankle recovery time and how long it will take for me to be pain-free completely.

Hi, Sprained ankle can take from 3 weeks to 3 months to heal, depending on the rest you take. More rest you take, earlier it heals. Take care

Severe pain gets reduced within 10-14 days normally. Total recovery takes 8-12 weeks
