Is it normal that my foot is still sprained after 6 weeks of recovery?

I managed to sprain my foot without any knowledge of trauma at least 6 weeks ago and my foot doesn't feel much better. It possibly feels a little better but not by that much. Is a 6 week window long enough?

Is It Normal?

  • I sprained my ankle once in 1998, and then again in 1999, now I can forecast the weather with it.

  • Well, don't mean to be rude but I know that if you're really over weight, these types of injuries take forever to heal. If it's not your case go see a doc

  • Sprains can be worse than a break, and in some cases can take years to fully return to normal function (I've been though that).

    The question is how much muscle/tendon damage and where.

    There are ways that Dr's can increase the speed of healing, or minor surgery may be more appropriate.

    You may also have a break that you don't know about, and it may not have healed.

    Please see a Dr on this.
