Question 1

i sprained my ankle 2 mos. ago and there is still slight pain a little swelling in the achilles tendon. any guesses how much longer it'll take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Not healed...: As ankle sprains can come in varying degrees of severity, from very mild to very extreme, it is hard to tell just how long it will take you ankle to totally heel. More concerning, is that you are having some issues with your Achilles tendon. Your tendon may be showing signs of an early tendinitis, due to the change in tendon function. This change could be secondary to the unresolved ankle injury.

Question 2

how long should a third degree foot sprain take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on how it is treated but an average would be 8-12 weeks.

Question 3

on average, how long will a sprained foot take to heal?

Accepted Answer

2-3 months: Depending on the severity of the sprain, usually 2-3 months.
There is a particularly bad sprain of the foot, called a lisfranc injury, which can take longer and can often be misdiagnosed.

Question 4

how long does it take for a sprained foot to heal?

Accepted Answer

Varies depending on : depending on the severety of the sprain it might take 1-4 weeks. Some sprains may be worse than a fracture.

Question 5

how long does a bad foot sprain take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Could take : Upto couple of months really would depend on severity and how adherent you are to the treatment protocol.

Question 6

how long does it take for a foot sprain to heal?

Accepted Answer

Depends on : How bad the sprain is. I would advise an ankle brace while walking until you feel no pain at the location of the sprain.

Question 7

how long does it takes a grade 2 sprain to heal? i had my sprain from january but am feeling pain wen i put my foot under heavy things and try to lift

Accepted Answer

No guarantees : A grade 2 ankle sprain does not necessarily ever heal.  This is ligament tissue that usually heals in 12 weeks, assuming no reaggravation of the injury. Many times there is more to an ankle sprain than just the torn ligament(s).  You can have several other reasons for continued pain.  You could have a tendon injury or a bone/cartilage injury as well.  You may need an mri.  Have it evaluated again.

Question 8

i sprained my foot not my ankle its been 3 weeks already and i still feel pain and its a little bit swollen too, how long does it take to heal?

Accepted Answer

How do you: Know you didn't break or fracture a bone? I think an x-ray would be prudent. Also, at bare minimum the foot should be braced or  immobilized.

Question 9

i sprained my ankle 4 weeks ago but still have little swelling and pain when i walk or move my foot. how much time should it take to heal and how?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: It really depends on what happened.  The best way to find out is with MRI.  Ultrasound of the veins to make sure no post traumatic DVT is also necessary.  Joint fluid  and tendon or ligament damage can then be seen

Question 10

how long would a mid-foot sprain take to heal? i have had pain for over 5 weeks now. there is no swelling but the foot feels unstable and hurts after exercise.

Accepted Answer

Stress fracture?: The mid-foot is a common place for a stress fracture.  It could be only a sprain/strain, but a stress fracture is possible. While there is commonly pain at rest, pain only during exercise can occur. Stress fractures are often not seen initially, so if there was a negative x-ray at the time of injury it should be repeated now. CT/MRI can help make diagnosis.  Immobilization/casting may be needed.
