Depends: There are several factors that influence the time an ankle sprain takes to heal. Amount of ligament damage, your treatment for it, general health, and any previous injuries to the ankle. Get a good diagnosis, early treatment and protect it as it heals (brace ) make sure to finish a rehab program to decrease the chance of reinjury.
