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.
To reduce the swelling from a foot or ankle injury, rest to avoid walking on the injured ankle or foot. Use an ice pack wrapped in a towel (donât use in direct contact with the skin) for up to 20 minutes, reapply if necessary after a 20 minute break.
