Phase One. The goal of phase one is to reduce swelling and pain. This phase can last between one and seven days after your ankle sprain. Rest, applying ice and wearing an elastic bandage during this time is necessary. For grade III ankle sprains, wearing a walking boot or using crutches is also necessary.
Grade 2 sprains are the most common and take 4 to 6 weeks to heal. Grade 3 is the most serious and typically presents with severe swelling (think of an egg at the side of your ankle), bruising, and limited to no ability to hold weight. This can take 8-12 weeks to fully heal.
