I sprained my ankle a month ago while playing badminton. It was really bad, couldn't walk for few days, but generally no big deal. It's already a month now, I can easily walk and play badminton now but I still feel that the ankle has not fully healed yet as I can feel some sore and pain whenever I jump. If I press on the ankle i can still feel a slight sore. My question is, does a sprained ankle take that long to heal? It's like I'm 90% healed within a week, but doesn't seem to get to a stage where is 100% healed even 3 weeks after that.
Anyone with experience with a sprained ankle?

Ok , from the replies here, it does show it takes anywhere from 8-16 weeks for it to fully heal...... Thanks a lot.

QUOTE(Aurora @ Jun 24 2012, 03:04 AM) hi guys.. may I ask for some advice. I sprain both my ankles 2 weeks ago while playing badminton (slippery floor), no swelling, no rashes, just feel immerse pain for first few minutes. Left ankle was more severe, and practically limping for the next 5 days. Feels weak on my right ankle, some pain but can walk as normal, but nothing vigorous. I also have problem descending stairs for first week, feel pain inside ankle when I land on toe, and have to descend sideway. 2 weeks after (today), I regain most of my strength. I push myself with 70~80% strength (light jump) and both my feet are able without pain. But, I still feel some pain behind/below my ankle bone when I twist my foot (i.e. standing on the ball/heel, and twist the left foot outward/anti-clockwise) at the joint limit. Is this normal? Is there anything I need to worry about? Anyway, I resume playing badminton today, with adjustable ankle wrap (thermoskin). Light game just for sweat. After the game, I feel like my ankle loosen a bit, and is less stiff. I try to look up for information on this type of injury and recovery (i.e. loosen the joint), can't find anything related. Am I doing it right? just wait for it to heal. Just an update for you guys, it's now fully healed, took nearly 10 weeks. So don't injure your ankle/ligament. The healing time is extremely long.
