How long will it take for a sprained ankle to loosen up?

It's been like 3 weeks now and I can walk okay now, but it kind of gets a tired feeling after a while and it's still a bit sore where the ankle bone is. Overall it's still a little sore and stiff a d I've lost a good amount of range of motion

in my opinion, at 3 weeks out, I'd see a physio. Best case they give you exercises and rehab to speed your recovery and avoid future injury. Worst case they identify a deeper issue and provide you treatment and rehab exercises for recovery, maintenance, and prevention.

Sometimes it can take months depends on how badly it is sprained

[red324]

So just let time do its thing then?

Yeah not much you can do except keep trying to move it even if if hurts or will take longer to heal

I just have to be careful I don't roll it again because it doesn't like to go that same direction at all.

Yeah you definitely have to be careful and it’s gonna take time

I guess it was a pretty bad sprain since I've never taken more than a day or two for an ankle sprain to heal

I kicked a wall once and hit the stud , almost broke my foot, took months to feel normal again, pulled a tendon in my arm and took 3 months before I could raise my arm up all the way again
