Ankle Sprain. Ankle sprains take an average of 6 weeks to heal but can take can up to 4 months, depending on the severity. An ankle brace, air stirrup, hiking boots, or other form of ankle support should be worn during this time to protect the ligaments. After the ankle is healed, wearing an ankle brace or taping the ankle may help prevent reinjury.
A high ankle sprain takes longer to heal compared to the usual type of ankle sprain, where the ligaments at the side of the joint are injured. A high ankle sprain may be suspected if the joint is still painful more than six weeks after the original injury.
