It takes about six to 12 weeks for a broken ankle to heal, but it may take longer to regain full movement and return to all of your normal activities. Swelling can sometimes take a few years to improve.
You need to immobilise (rest) your ankle, until you can bear weight and walk on it without pain! This may take a few days, or a few weeks. You really need to see your doc (or go to casualty, but tell them you did it in the last 48h or they won't see you!), as you may need a splint or crutches for a while.
