I have a second degree sprain how long does it take to heal?

Question:

i sprained it during 2 a days today and i really want to play football but he said it would take 2-3 weeks to heal, i think it could heal faster, anyone know a thing or two about sprains

Answers:
yes, it will take 2 to 3 weeks to heal completely but that doesnt mean that you can be playing football again.
in about 3 days or so you can probably start practicing again lightly, but keep it wrapped in an ace bandage, or wear an ankle support. if it starts to hurt be sure to tell your coach. the last thing youw anna do is over work it.
and then make sure you ice it everynight when you get home, or in between both practices 15 minutes on 15 minutes off for 2 hours.
goodluck
