It’s hard to give an exact time period, because some people have much more severe sprains than others. As a general rule, if you have a swollen and bruised ankle, but can walk on it, you can expect to be walking normally after 2-4 days and back to playing sports within a week.With H.E.M. you can expect to be walking normally after 2-4 days and back to playing sports within a week. If you were using the R.I.C.E. system, you could expect to be walking normally in 10-14 days and playing sports again in 4-8 weeks.

As a general rule, if you have a swollen and bruised ankle, but can walk on it, you can expect to be walking normally in about a week or less and back to playing sports within 2 weeks. If you were using the R.I.C.E. system, you could expect to be walking normally in 2-4 weeks and playing sports again in 2-3 months.
