Sprain: The damage does not have to be permanent after a sprain. Improvement of your symptoms may be helped by physiotherapy, time and bracing.

Careful: Really bad sprains almost always need some type of physical therapy in order to get back to 100%. Otherwise, chronic pain ensues. It is not just about healing the ligaments--it's the nerve fibers as well that give you your proprioception. Start with rice therapy (rest, ice, compression with an ace wrap, and elevation). See a podiatrist and get an x ray to make sure there is no fracture.
