6-8 weeks to heal the break. Then months of therapy and exercise. You will play football again, but not for awhile. Good luck to you.

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?

8 weeks. Then lots of limited use and plenty of therapy. When you stand you put your entire body weight on your ankles. Think about that. Then when you walk, you're putting more force of weight on the ankle. When you then also play a sport you're putting many times your body weight on the ankle.
If it isn't healed properly the first time, you'll have lots of problems with it later on.'

I broke mine playing football 8 years ago. It took six weeks for the plaster to be taken off, but another 3 or 4 weeks for me to walk on it without limping and build the strength back in the leg that was plastered.

About 6 to 8 weeks for the actual break, then you'll probably have to have physio after that so all in all could be a couple of months.

Usually six to eight weeks. After which you should try it out slowly. It will be "tender" for some time. You may find in later years that you will develop arthritis, in the break area.

it could take 6 - 12 weeks to heal, but you better make sure you don't rush it or you'll deal with problems for the rest of your life.

Could you play football before it broke?
