If you run on it it helps it heal faster but it will hurt really bad for a couple of days

NO!!!! dont run track because it will hurt worse and trust me it does not feel good at all. So yeah and it doesnt take that long to go away. It all depends on how bad the sprain is.

Mmmmm, nope i wouldn't run. You should ice it and take it easy. It usually takes 2-3 days.

Ok. Depending on how serious the sprain is(you should be able to tell if it is minor or serious)depending on swelling or pain. if it is at least 1 week resent then ice it. it should take at least 2 to 4 weeks to heal completely. as far as track goes about 1 week after the injury you should be ok to start doing smaller amounts of activity.Dont push your self to hard but physical activity increases blood flow, and the more blood to the area the faster it should heal. hope i helped.

No, I wouldn't run on it after it was sprained. You should wait a while. Your ankle should take a couple weeks. A few tips on caring for it would be, Keep it elevated, keep it iced, eat lots of calcium. Hope I helped

Zach_Attack answered Monday November 22 2004, 7:48 pm:
it may take 1-2 weeks for it to heal completely. definetly do not run track after it. it will only make things worse, and it will take longer to heal.

It took me about a month to get completely healed, it wasnt that bad for me. I iced it every night and kind of did exercises for my ankle. Do not run on, nurse it. Keep it elevated as well hope i helped! ~4evaurs21~
