I sprained mine heelflipping over my sidewalk. It'll hurt for about a week, and you shouldn't get on a board for at least 3 weeks, just to be safe. After that, you'll have to judge for yourself, and take it slow for awhile until you're sure that your ankle can handle the stress of Skateboarding again.

This healing of a sprained ankle can take up to 3 1/2 weeks if not more. This would all depend on how bad it is . So I would not run again for about 3 1/2 weeks and rest your ankle.

How long does it usually take a level three ankle sprain to heal Pain free?

Grade III is the most serious injury. The 3 main ligaments of the lateral ankle are all torn. They heal more slowly than bone because they have very poor blood supply. If a second sprain were to occur before it completely heals, you could end up with a permanently unstable ankle. Therefore it is extremely important that it is completely healed before attempting any quick lateral movements. Depending on your age and ability to heal (how well blood flows to the area is key), I would estimate 6 months of healing and rehab before you are completely out of the "woods."

How long does swelling last after broken ankle?

I broke 3 bones in my ankle April 2010. I had to have surgery & had 1 plate and 11 screws put in my ankle. It has now been 3 months since my injury & I am still having alot of swelling with my ankle. My doctor has me wearing a compression stocking to keep the swelling down & he also has me going to rehab to get the muscles moving around to help with the swelling. It's just gonna take some time with this type of injury for you to fully recover. My doctor told me it would take a full year before I would start feeling back to normal. I have had so many people tell me that I will have swelling for the next year or two. I get my boot off in two days and begin to start walking on it again. I didn't think I'd ever get to this point but am so excited to be able to start getting my normal life back. I know I still have a long ways to go before I am fully recovered and the swelling totally is gone. Hope that I helped answer your question.
