Ankle sprain usually occurs on the outer aspect of the foot. They present with severe pain, swelling and difficulty in walking. Usually ligament sprain takes three weeks to heal with proper treatment. RICE stands for Rest- Ice-Compression-elevation. If swelling is persisting one can use crepe bandage or ankle binder for two weeks.
