Ankle
Yesterday I sprained my ankle in gymnastics and I suspect it is a grade 2 sprain. I use crutches at school , ice it, and elevate it. I am going to the doctor in a few days, but in the meanwhile what can i do to make it heal faster? And how long will it take to heal?

It would take around a month but you need to stay off it for a while or use crutches still you can walk on it without pain. It you use ur ankle too much it will take longer to heal.
Lastly, when you sleep you need to elevate your foot.
I had a sprained ankle in November. My ankle is still not completely healed where I can work my calves in the gym but I can walk

You can’t ‘make’ it heal faster it takes time. Just don’t use it and keep doing what your doing now. You should go to the doctor asap though. Usually the it doesn’t take very long. I sprained my ankle and foot at the same time playing baseball last year and the doctor thought it was a break but was only a bad sprain. Took a week or a week and a half to heal and I was staying off of it for that time.

Ice it several times a day, elevate it and take Ibuprofen. Don’t rush it.
