I had an grade 3 ankle sprain. how long does one wait for an mri should it be done right after the injury or 2 or 3 weeks later?

2weeks: Grade 3 is complete rupture. If you are involved in athletic activity that requires ankle stability like tennis, basketball and volleyball you should consider an ankle stabilizing procedure.
