Too long, from my experiences
I was playing basketball all afternoon today and I came down hard after a rebound, landed on some dude's foot, and sprained my ankle. I'm pretty sure it bent all the way down, in hurt like a mother.
The reason I made this thread is to ask how long do ankle sprains generally take to heal???
Too long, from my experiences
It depends. If you can walk on it at all - even with big ass limp - I'd say you'll be fine within a week at most.
Who hasn't landed on a foot while playing ball? That and jammed fingers are the 2 things that happen to everyone all the time.
Goddamn, I'm cringing at the thought of any injury below the knee.
Ugh!
Feel better soon.
go buy a McDavid ankle supporter at sports authority
if you don't sprain your ankle while playing basketball then your not playing right
I've sprained my ankle before but that was a long time ago.
I broke 2 fingers in football last season. The one finger is ed, it's gonna keep getting ed up every season.Who hasn't landed on a foot while playing ball? That and jammed fingers are the 2 things that happen to everyone all the time.
My football coaches are heads, they have a hard time believing any in excuse involving injuries. To one of my coaches, if you break a leg, you're a pussy.
They're gonna about me playing basketball too.
I played basketball for a couple of weeks with a broken finger without knowing it. I thought it was just jammed badly. Come to find out it was broken.
Sports injuries are fun.
add ice, elevate, and keep the swelling down.
geta nice padded ankle brace
Did all of that.
This gets old fast though, too in boring.
It all depends on the severity.
I sprained my right anke two weeks ago today....high ankle sprain.
I can walk and all..even run..but if I wanted to play bball...i couldn't.
I bet you won't play ball for a few weeks...
Since I play receiver/cornerback in football, it's gonna make my recovery take longer. All I do on a football field is really hard cuts and sprints, if I come back to early I will it up.
Exactly.
Stay off it man.
It may feel good walking and even running..but once you make that CUT...ouch!
I have a bad thumb, not sure how.
Was playing basketball last month and first possession ball deflected off my good thumb, so needless to say I had zero good thumbs to play with the rest of the way.
Ankle sprains are joyous. Done that some 33 million times. If you can walk on it, you will be fine within a short period of time. Its always fun when you try to play with the ankle sprain, tighten your shoes and then when you finally take em off it blows up. Good stuff.
ill burn alvarez
You're 15. It'll take a lot less time for you than the rest of us.
Last time I sprianed an ankle, it was about 6-8 weeks before it was anywhere near 100%. (Of course, I was playing on it, which is dumb.)
I'm 16.
I'm actually closer to 17 than 16, FYI.
Sorry.
My point is still the same. You're young, dude. You hurt it today. The odds are you won't feel a thing in a week or so.
Wiat until the first time you hurt yourself when you're about 35. Then you'll know what I'm talking about.
You'll burn me?
lol I know the point is still the same, I just wanted to clear that up with everyone.
In my experience, you tend to forget the pain when you start playing. It is the rests that get you.
If it's a possibility for you, acupuncture really speeds healing time.
under a week
