I sprained my ankle during a football game about 4 months ago. Now the deal is i have had sprains twists and other such things before, but the pain never lasted more than a few days or maybe a few weeks. Its been almost 16 weeks now and I still have not fully recovered from that ankle sprain. I went to a doctor after it hadn't healed within 2 months. He just said it would take time and not to worry about it. I was wondering if anybody has had something similar happen to them and if they now anything that helped.

I am very interested in this discussion as just over a week ago went over the side of my shoe and I have sprained my foot, not the ankle but along the side of the foot under the ankle and it is stoll very sore when I put my foot down in certain ways...I am not one for running to doctors for things, I always try and fix things myself but i keep getting told it should be x-rayed but I am a stubborn thing and I don't think anything is broken so I will just keep it wrapped up and hope it heals itself so i will keep checking on this discussion...

I really hope, you get better. Its been terrible for me so far. I did get x-rayed and the doctor just said my foot needed rest. Its interesting where you got sprained though. I have never heard of a sprain like that, I can imagine it hurts to walk. What I can tell you though is that sometimes just going to a doctor, just to check and make sure nothing is wrong is not a bad thing. Good luck with your foot.
