elevate your ankle will help alittle, but you definitely won't be wearing any dancin' shoes tomorrow night...

I severely sprained mine once and it took about 6 weeks before I could walk without any pain. All I did was put ice packs on it, kept it elevated, tried to stay off of it as much as possible, and wore an ankle support brace from weeks 3-6.

Last time i sprained my ankle it was almost a year before i could walk down stairs pain free.

GL!

I've never broken bones. But in college I sprained my ankle and was on crutches for over 4 weeks. My profs said I hope it isn't permanent. It eventually went away. I wish you a speedy recovery. It's funny, but a sprain can be wicked. BTW, I sprained it on the first day of spring break. The rest of the week was a bummer, I hope this makes you feel better.

How are these threads revived from two days ago? Who surfs around on page 14?

I declare your use of "page 14" meaningless

I sprained my knee really bad a while back while playing paintball. It swelled up and looked like I had a huge water balloon under my skin, it was gross.

i sprained my ankle... it took 3 months for hte pain to fully go away... although you'll be able to walk on it within the week, try to stay off it as much as possible.

I got really frustrated because even up to 4 or 5 months after the sprain, i'd just be walking along and the ankle would give out sidways. Like it would just roll. The weirdest thing

Be patient, and good luck if it gets worse or doesnt start feeling better, be sure to get it checked out asap!
