Give it a week and it should be alright if not hardly sprained.
Hon, It may take either 2-4 wks or months. Good Luck!Keep ice on it in diff periods of time and make sure you slowly move it back and forth so that it does not become stiff. And remember, you could always take ibeprofin or such pain relief medicines.

This depends on the the severity of the sprain. There are three different ankle sprains usually called Grade I, Grade II, and Grade III with Grade III being the worst. I had a Grade II sprain and it took a month to heal and another month before I could go back to playing soccer. A Grade I sprain usually takes a few weeks to heal, a Grade II will usually take a couple months and a Grade III can take up to 6 months or more. The most important thing is that you stay off the ankle and do the exercises so it has time to heal.

A sprained ankle can hurt enough so that walking on it is impossible. If you have a sprained ankle, apply ice to reduce swelling and stay off of it. Keep it elevated until it begins to feel better.

The time to heal most fractures is about 6 to 8 weeks, but may vary somewhat depending on your age and general health.

Smoking also slows bone healing.

It stretches the muscles and ligaments in the ankle, and is VERY painful. It may hurt for a few minutes, or if serious can create a sprained ankle.
