I have a sprained foot, How long will it take until i can walk on it properly? (i can just about limp atm)?

Question

I did it on thursday (4days ago) through a diving board mis-hap, and its painful when i walk so i just kind of limp. It hurts when i put pressure on it but i still put pressure on it because the doc said i should. How long will it take before the swelling and bruising goes away, and how long will it take before i can walk without the stupid limp? Thanks in advance

P.s, I got it xrayed, its just sprained, and ive tore the tendons and ligaments in my foot if this is any help. x

Answer 1

ehh about 2 weeks or so i would say thats how much for my friends when they got it sprained bad

Answer 2

Go to a drug-store or Walmart and but a supportive ankle brace, and try to do what you doctor said.

Answer 3

The longer you limp on it, the longer it will take to heal. If you continue walking on it like this, your ankle should take 3 to 5 weeks to heal and your foot should take a few months. I can't believe the doctors allow you to walk on it if you rtore the tendons and ligaments. If you stay off the foot, you could be healed up in a month or two.
