How long should i wait before doing physical activities if i reinjured a sprain a couple days ago?

Depends!: What type of sprain? Do you have support for the joint. Usually, you should avoid activities that "tweak" a sprain." sprains may take a long while to heal because connective tissue fibers are torn. Support in the form of a brace: essential. And what sporting activities are you talking about?
