Looking for a job means compromising. You probably will not find the perfect position in the perfect location with the perfect salary (unless youâre offered a job at Google). But you should not compromise benefits.
If you have a torn tendon in the ankle, the most common symptoms are ankle pain and swelling. The pain can be quite severe and the swelling typically occurs in the area surrounding the torn tendon. On occasion, an individual can hear the tendon actually break, which results in a popping or snapping sound.
2 weeks to a year: A sprained ankle swells initially because of the injury to the soft tissue and the blood/lymph vessels torn at the time of injury. It takes a while for it to resolve. Anywhere from 2 weeks to up to a year. If you have a tendency to have swollen ankles for other reasons it may persit forever.
