Sprained ankle
I sprained my ankle over 5 weeks ago. Had an X-ray and showed no brake. The swelling has gone down compared to what is was and bruising has gone. But it still swells up if I’m on my feet for any period of time and still giving my little discomfort. Is this normal? How long is the usual recovery period for a sprained ankle?
