it depends a lot on what damage has been caused
ie. torn muscles , tendons , bleeding into the joint and surounding area (swelling )
, it can take an week or two, or as long a 6-8 weks
about the same time or a little longer, than a fracture to heal .

depends on how bad it is. usually just a couple of weeks. jus take it easy. and wrap it tight to keep from injuring it again till it hills completely

I sprained it playing basketball
It hurt like hell !
