Well if it was broken it would be really swollen and bruised and you would not be able to walk on it at all.

A sprained ankle needs extra support applied to it like a brace. Each person heals differently and a sprained ankle could take a couple of days to a couple of weeks to heal.

Go see a doctor and get an x-ray done of the ankle to see if it is broken.

Do not go to the gym and try to work out. This can put you in further danger and hurt the ankle more or hurt some other part of your body.

4 - 9 days

several days dependant on how bad it is
