How severe is my ankle sprain and what recovery time am i looking at?

Question

ok i sprained my ankle thursday at my soccer practice and it popped when it happened. but i got up and ran off the field just fine even though it was a little sore. since then ive followed the rice guide and the swelling is gone except for the the front part of the ankle. ( right outside ankle)

i have bruising below my ankle and it doesnt hurt and it doesnt hurt to walk on it, yet its a little loose. i got a game in two weeks so how bad is it and how long? thanks

Answer 1

You probably just tweaked it a little bit.

I've sprained my ankle a couple of times during games, and been fine.

If you're able to walk on it, I'm guessing it's not serious.

You will most likely be fine in 2 weeks. Good luck at your game! :)

Answer 2

Ever thought of going to the doctor? or emergency usually when there is a popping or crack sound that means bones.. OUCH..- I would just make sure and get x-rays. bruising means fracture or broken bones..

good luck
