On average, how long will a sprained ankle last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ANKLE SPRAIN: It depends because an ankle sprain is diagnose by most foot and ankle specialists in stages. Stage 1 to 2 is usually 2 to 4 weeks. Stage 3 usually takes 4 to 6 weeks and stage 4 sometimes takes as much as 3 months and requires possible surgical treatment.
