how long did your ankle sprain take to heal completely?

i tore a ligament in my right ankle in march and im still suffering with stiffness and pain but im now able to jog which is lovely lol
Mine was a very severe injury so maybe doing some strength excercises might improve things.x

Sprains are weird. They never completely heal (ask mine!) and become weaker each time you sprain it. However, a good way to strengthen ankles, as weird as this sounds, is to trace the alphabet with your foot. It will release the stiffness and will strengthen the ankle. In the meantime, take ibuprofen to reduce pain before exercise.

Exactly. I sprained mne as a high school student and it still bothers me to this day with stiffness and popping. I have found the alphabet tracing and slowly rising up on your toes really helps. Also, overall strength training seems to help. If it is still really bad there a are soft braces and air casts that you can wear when working out.

It took me a full year to heal from my ankle sprain. I had a grade 2 sprain, so mine was probably quite a bit worse than yours. I had significant swelling and bruising.

I actually did physical therapy/rehab using a program used for athletes. It was rigorous and took a lot more of my time, but I was able to walk again a lot sooner than I would have if I had just followed RICE. (rest, ice, elevation, etc).

For about a year, the ankle was stiff and sore, but it got less over time. I still do lots of extra stretching and balance board work to keep my ankles flexible and strong.

I've broken and/or sprained my right ankle 6 times, mostly pretty severe. 2 months should be plenty for a mild sprain. The pain and stiffness might remain until you do run on it again for a while. Have you been doing any PT for it?

I severely sprained my ankle doing Zumba back in early January, to the point where I thought I tore something or broke it but x-ray's proved otherwise, it was just a very bad sprain. Mine was swollen for several months to some extent and only now, 8 months later, does it really look normal and is to the point where I no longer have pain in it daily. I too was given the advice of tracing the alphabet with my foot to help it heal and it did work, especially with keeping the flexibility. I don't do Zumba anymore because I have been back twice since my injury but I now am trying so hard to not hurt myself that I am overthinking it and feel like that is going to cause me to re-injure myself. For cardio I now run on the treadmill, which has not given me any pain, do the elliptical, walk briskly, do strength training and take a core strengthening class. The first few months after the sprain were tough for sure and I mainly just did the elliptical for cardio because that was the least impact and I could do it without pain. I wish you fast healing!
