Sprain: Minor sprains may recover completely by 3 weeks while more severe sprains stretch or tear the ligaments and thus take much longer to heal. Go back to doc for follow up and confirm the diagnosis. Physical therapy may speed your recovery.

Ankle: There ar ankle injuries that are best diagnosed with standard x-rays or by advanced studies. If you continue to experience upper levels of pain, see your podiatrist for more advanced care.
