How long does it take to walk with a sprained ankle

Ankle sprains require at least 4 weeks of recuperation before you can walk on the ground, except for fractures. Ankle sprains without fractures mainly involve contusions of ligaments and fascia, which can cause only minor damage in mild cases, but in severe cases can cause rupture of fascia ligaments, often requiring surgical repair. It takes at least 4 weeks for the ligaments and fascia to heal, so patients with ankle sprains need 4 weeks of recuperation until the ligaments and fascia heal before they can walk normally. Before walking, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for a detailed examination, so that the doctor can determine through physical examination and related auxiliary examinations whether the patient can go down to the ground. In addition, the patient should not walk normally in the early stage of the activity, but should gradually transition from light activity to normal walking.
