it really depends how bad u sprained it. my friend has sprained her ankle more than once, it usually takes 2-3 weeks to heal, but now every time she plays soccer, she has a better chance of injuring it!
Four to eight weeks if you look after it , try to keep your weight off it as much as possible.
To heal completely, longer than you think.
The first phase is the inflammatory phase and can last 72 hours. It involves swelling, redness, warmth and pain. Ice should be used during this time.
The repair phase is next. This can last from 48 hours to six weeks. During this phase, the body lays down scar tissue (collagen). It is not unusual to feel pain/discomfort during this time.
The final, and most important, phase is the remodeling phase. This is when the collegen is remodeled to replicate the tissue that was damaged during the injury. This is the longest phase, lasting from three weeks to a year or more.
as we are all individual some people take longer than others remember its your ankle so do not walk about to much rest for a while keeping your leg up on the settee or chair with pillow 6-8 weeks depends be a couch potato and take care after a few weeks swimming and some gentle exercise would be good hope you are better soon
