A member asked:
Should my ankle still be swollen 2 weeks after spraining it?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes.: Ankles can stay swollen for many weeks following a sprain. Even when fully rehabilitated from a sprain, there could still be some residual swelling. It should dissipate over time.

Tes...: This is nowhere near enough time for the swelling from the injury to subside. The area may remain swollen for months but it will eventually go away, but very gradually.

I had a severe ankle sprain two years ago. I went to a doctor but no x-rays were taken. It still gets painful and swollen at times depending on physical activity and I suspect with certain types of footwear.
