Content: Recovery time from a sprained ankle will depend on the severity of the sprain. Most ankle sprains are mild and only need ice and elevation. Mild sprains typically begin to feel better in a few days to a week and heal by six weeks. More severe ankle sprains could take more than a few weeks or months to fully recover. Severe sprains may cause excruciating pain, crutches may be needed. A return to regular activities may be delayed for weeks or months. What Are Treatment Options for a Sprained Ankle? Sprained ankle treatment depends on the severity of the injury. In many cases, self-care and relaxing may be all that’s required. It’s important to remember to rest, apply ice, and elevate your ankle immediately after a sprain.
