How long will it take a sprang ankle to heal, if you aren't able to stay off it?

Question

I just started a new job an i am on probation for 30days, my job requires me to walk a lot so i keep it wrapped and I wear a brace that was given to me in the emergency room I am worried that they may let me go if I can't stand for a long period of time.

Answer 1

about 8-10 weeks, go to a doctor they will give you a boot that starps on your foot to keep it safe from re-injury

Answer 2

I sprain my ankle often when running in the woods. The trick is to tape it as tight at you can, so it can move, and your foot remains in the "L" position. That way you can walk, and there is no chance of re-injuring it while it heals....but you have to leave the tape on the whole time. 3 days at least, even in the shower
