it actually depends on the severity or grade of your ankle sprain (grades 1-3)and which specific ankle ligament was sprained (most commonly sprained ankle ligament is the anterior talofibular).
anyway,one of the long term effects of an untreated ankle sprain will be more chances of having it sprained again since its strength was already compromised the first few times 'twas injured.

depends a lot on your age, and how bad the sprain was, and of course, whether it actually is only a sprain or maybe a hairline fracture. Ordinary sprains in an otherwise healthy person ought to just take their "groany"time and get well again. If the sprain was particularly severe causing the ligaments to be more damaged, or if, in fact, a fracture is present (which requires x-ray confirmation) things will take longer to heal. In the case of a fracture. it sometimes comes back to haunt you on down the road in the form of some arthritis. It varies from one person to another. But for the most part, I'll take a sprained ankle over any of the zillions of other things out there, any day.

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 boyfriend sprained his ankle about 2 months ago and he still has trouble walking on it, but he also tore ligaments, the doctor has told him that it will never be 100% good again.
I guess it all depends on how bad the sprain is, but alot of times you will suffer from it when you get older.

from personal experience. The ankle becomes easier to sprain and unexpected pain comes.

Well I'm not completely sure, but I think the ankle will probably hurt when your older, or when there is a seasonal change or a weather change.
