How long is too long for a sprained ankle to heal?

How long does a sprained ankle take to heal?

  • I sprained my ankle on thursday it is now wednesday... i have to use crutches till i can get to the orthopedic on fri..i got all swelled up on the injured side and that just went down yesterday, also now it is really bruised on that side. How long do you think it will take for it to heal and me be able to dance on it because i have a recital coming up and this is cutting it close!!!

  • Answer:

    It can take weeks or months for sprains to heal fully. It depends on how bad it was hurt initially and how quickly your body heals. Really Severe sprains can take up to 9 months to heal completely. The fact that you can bear a little weight is good news, so it isn't as bad as what I have above, but I am not sure about dancing at a recital any time soon. In some bad cases breaks can heal faster than sprains! I know that is not what you wanted to hear but you need to know that it isn't a fast process. Stay off of it, and follow the docs instructions. Best of luck.
