Sometimes a sprained ankle can take longer the mend than a broken ankle would!. The older the longer! You can soak it in as hot of water as you can stand then put it in ice water and repeat this!. This will help reduce some of the swelling and relieve some of the pain!. Try using an elastic wrap when doing much with it!. It needs extra support til it mends!.

The reason it isn't healing is because you kept using it while it wasn't completely healed!.
This could cause it to heal the wrong way!.
You need to wrap it in an ACE bandage and keep you weight off!.
When you can, lay down and put your foot up[above your heart] and ice it to take the swelling down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

After a sprained ankle it is best to have rest!. But If your back to playing volleyball you should deffinately have that ankle taped and I don't mean ace bandages!. They sell quality sports tape near the phamacy department!. It will help keep your ankle in place while you play!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
Unless this is a really severe sprain, you likely either fractured your ankle or did something else gnarly to a ligament or tendon!. I'd suggest getting it checked out by a doc just to be sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
sprains take four to six weeks (minimum)!.!.!.and longer if you keep training on it and hurting them ;)Www@Answer-Health@Com
