It took me 4-6 weeks to get back after I sprained my ankle. Doctor told me to stay off it, elevate, ice and wrap it with Ace bandage. (RICE- rest, ice, compress, elevate). Get a good ankle support when she's getting back to play, it helps.

already injured my ankle too dut to tennis.. one of many injuries!! well it depends.. if its a tear it should take around 4-6 weeks!! depending on how bad the tear is.. ttry to move her ankle with your hands left and right to see if the tear is on the left or right( inside or outside) if she can't move it herself and really in pain and cant walk then it might be a big tear!! should rest a bit more than 6 weeks.. no sports at ALL... use some inflammatory gel daily.. physio should have already told u though.. hope it helps

not putting weight on the ankle would sugest it will need time 2 heal. if u are talking 2 a physio then they should be able to give you a roungh awnser from what you have said i would say she can be back doin training in a couple of months. if you ask your physio they should be able to give u a program to heal the ankle and rebuild strength

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

my hubby did his ankle in and it took 6 weeks to start to heal, it depends on the injury, plus everybody heals at a different rate. ask the physio, hes the only one that will have real advice for your daughter

You either need to speak to your doctor or physio about this as I am not a doctor. My best guess is to wait until she says its better and cannot feel pain and still wait a few weeks after that just to make sure everything is healed properly.

Did the physio not give you some idea ?

anything from one week to 18 months.

It really depends on the type of injury, when i hurt my ankle it took about 3 months to heal and that because i ddin't stay off it, i kept on playing, once i went to the doctor and she told me not to go to school and to totally stay off it....the swelling went down and it healed totally about 3-4 weeks after.

dont put any weight on it for about a week. put ice on it if it swelled up. then slow start walking in it. but dont over do it. in time it will get better.
from experience.
