I fucked my ankle when I was shittered & I have not really been able to do much on it for the past week & a half. How long do these things typically take to heal, could it be broken? or would I just be in unbearable pain

It can take awhile depending on the severity of the strain. Sometimes it will only take 1-2 days of rest, one time it took me around 1.5 months for my ankle to fully heal. Best advice is take advil, ice the shit out of it, and compress and elevate it.

If you don't see any improvement in 4-5 days you should see your doctor.

DONT IGNORE IT, i rolled my ankle last year skating and didnt think much of it, big mistake because it still hurts today. Ice it constantly and follow all the advice you get. my ankle wasnt even that bad at the time yet it still remains a problem over a year later, but this is avoidable.

back in september, i was jumping on the trampoline, and i rolled it so bad it dislocated and fractured a bit. i had to get a cast, i had crutches for 2.5 weeks and then couldnt walk normal for like a month, its still bigger than the other one, and half my foot is numb.

Ya, "rolled my ankle" couple months back. Apparently it turned out to be sprain and it took me about 4 weeks to heel. sucked. If it still hurts in a couple more days then go to your doctor and do whatever he/she says. Good luck

3 to 6 years. Prepare for the worst as for the duration of first year of a rolled ankle there will be one flood, 2 plagues of locusts, 3 months of complete darkness. cannibalism will start amongst your family. your girlfriends boobs and ass will start to deflate.
Godspeed to you sir.

only a couple of days if you stay off of it and its not too severe.

Wrap it in an ace bandage or an ankle brace and ice it.

In the past i have rolled my ankle so many times and didn't take the time to let it heal, BIG mistake. Today i can't sit crosslegged cause it hurts to much/makes my foot go numb. It all depends on the severity though, for mine which were usually pretty bad it took about a week 1/2 of icing, wrapping, crutches.

I rolled mine on a trampoline once, it took a month and half to heal. That was with wearing a brace every time i did something active, and icing it on occasion. Be careful with it, it could easily get worse if you dont go easy on it.

totally depends on how badly you rolled it/ degree of the sprain. No way anyone here could tell you how long cause we don't have enough info. 1st degree sprain no big deal. you'll be back at er in a few days. 2nd or 3rd degree could be a month, but you wouldn't be able to walk right now.

Rolled mine real bad back in december, couldn't really even walk for a couple days. It still hurts a little, and I've only been able to ollie through the pain for a month or so. Just give it time and try not to do it again.

i fucked up my ankle about 2 months ago and it still hurts. Make sure you move when it starts feeling better so you maintain its flexibility. i did not do this and it got really stiff and now i have to heat it up with a heat pad and bend it until its flexibility comes back.

ya i fucked my ankle up last night at bassnectar. Got kicked out before lauren even came on. Got caught walking around with a beer underage. I know it was dumb but damn was it shitty, all my homies ragen it up, everything i could need was locked in there car. And not to mention all the drugs feed to me before, and mainly after i was kicked out. real porked



whatever lesson learned for the next two years, now to heel up ankle and 1000 of cuts from trying to hike above red rocks myself with no light.
