Question:

Answers:

A sprain can take several weeks (about 4-6) to finish healing. You can expect soreness, swelling, and pain for a little while after that. You should give it some more time, and if it doesn't feel any better you may want to consider seeing your doctor again. You should ice it, wrap it (if you aren't already in a brace or something for the sprain), elevate it (above your heart), and try to stay off of it. Good luck!
