It usually takes 5 to 14 days to recover from a grade one ankle sprain. This is when slight stretching and damage occurs to the ligaments. With a grade one sprain, there is slight instability, pain, swelling, joint stiffness, and trouble walking. Grade two sprains can take 4 to 6 weeks to heal. This involves partial tearing of the ligaments. Signs of a grade two sprain include instability, moderate to severe pain, swelling, stiffness and possible bruising. Grade three sprains can take 8 to 12 weeks to heal. This is a complete tear of the ligament.
For an average type of broken ankle, it can take up to six weeks to fully heal. But in more severe cases it can take months and surgery may also have to be done to correct the problem. It is important to keep the ankle elevated and to rest the ankle for a period of time.
