Since there is ligamentous injury, recovery is usually 6-8 weeks depending on treatment modality and cessation of activity affecting joint.

No, this sounds like an additional injury that was not previously noticed or is something new. They could be connected only by the means of that by working on your feet that particular foot/ankle is compensating for the other one now due to a shift caused by the previous injury. Get it looked at im sure it is fixable more easily that you think. physical therapy im sure will work wonders. Similar thing happened to me.

In my 16 years of playing and coaching the injury that I have seen the most are ankle sprains.  Other honorable mentions would include: jammed or dislocated fingers, joint inflammation in shoulders and knees, and a few knee injuries ACL or MCL tears.  Hope this helps....

thats hard to tell (anywhere between 4-6 weeks, and even several month), depends on how complicated the fracture is and to what parts of the ankle are broken. then an other influence on the heal time is the treatment that had been conducted.\nin general it can be said that children heal fractures and other injuries a lot faster than adults do. \n\nto make sure ask the doctor who is taking care of her, he can tell you.\n\ngood luck

I had a broken vessel a few years ago that took about 3 weeks to completely resolve.  I think you can expect it to last at least 2 weeks and probably up to a month.

RICE approach:\n\nRest--You may need to rest your ankle, either completely or partly, depending on how serious your sprain is. Use crutches for as long as it hurts you to stand on your foot. \n\nIce--Using ice packs, ice slush baths or ice massages can decrease the swelling, pain, bruising and muscle spasms. Keep using ice for up to 3 days after the injury. \n\nCompression--Wrapping your ankle may be the best way to avoid swelling and bruising. You'll probably need to keep your ankle wrapped for 1 or 2 days after the injury and perhaps for up to a week or more. \n\nElevation--Raising your ankle to or above the level of your heart will help prevent the swelling from getting worse and will help reduce bruising. Try to keep your ankle elevated for about 2 to 3 hours a day if possible. \n\nWhat is the best way to use ice?\nPutting ice on your ankle can be very helpful, but you also need to be careful. The cold can damage nerves if the ice is left in place too long. \n\nIce can be left on your ankle for up to 20 minutes at a time. When your skin feels numb, it's time to remove the ice. Use ice treatments every 2 to 4 hours for the first 3 days after your injury. Ice treatments can consist of ice packs, ice slush baths or ice massages. \n\nTo use ice packs, partly fill a plastic bag with crushed ice. Wrap a thin, wet cloth around your injury. Place the ice pack over this and then wrap an elastic bandage around the ice pack to hold it in place. \n\nFor ice slush baths, fill a large bucket with water and ice. Place your ankle in the bucket until the skin gets numb.\n\nIce massages can work well for small areas. Freeze water in 4- to 8-ounce styrofoam (coffee) cups. Tear the top part of the cup away from the ice. Hold the covered end and slowly rub the ice over the sprained area with a circular motion. Don't hold the ice on one spot for more than 30 seconds.

a lot of joint injuries, ankles and knees especially (due to the impact and weight they bear all the time) can become aggravated WELL after the injury.  Time and what you're doing will set it right.

There is not much they can do for it. That happened to my dad, the pain very bad so i feel for you. It will go away but you are very suseptable to re-injuring it so regardless of what a Dr may or may not be able to do for you i would speak to one and get up to speed on this type of injury. Make no mistake it is very serious.

A SPRAIN - is an injury that involves the ligaments and other soft tissues around a joint, such as an ankle.\n\nA STRAIN - occurs away from a joint and involves a torn or over stretched muscle or tendon, commonly in the calf, thigh or lower back.\n\nSigns and symptoms of the above is;\n* Pain at the site of the injury, often servere with a sprain or strain.\n* Loss of power in the injured area, especially with a sprained joint.\n* Nausea\n* Feeling faint or giddy\n* Pale, cold and clammy skin, due to shock.\n\nA DISLOCATION - is where a bone has been displaced from its normal position at a joint. some joints are more likely than others to dislocate under sudden, severe force e.g. shoulder, or fingers. And should always be treated as a break.\n\nA BROKEN BONE - called a fracture, some fractures are complete, e.g when a long bone snaps in half, where others fractures may involve only part of a bone breaking. \n- Closed fracture is where the is no break in the skin.\n- Open fracture is where the bone end has broken the skin or a wound is present with the fracture.\n- Complicated where an underlying organ is involved, e.g. a fractured skull with pressure on the brain, or when a broken rib has injured the lung. \n\nSigns and symptoms of fracture/dislocation\n* pain (servere or moderate, depending on the location of the injury)\n* Swelling\n* Deformity of the injured area (when compared with the uninjured side of the body)\n* Loss of normal function of the injured part\n* Discolouration of the skin or bruising\n* A wound if it is an open fracture\n* Symptoms and signs of shock \n* Altered sensation, e.g. "pins and needles" if a nerve is under pressure, or a grating sensation if injured bone ends are rubbing together.\n\nWith fractures and dislocations you must seek medical attention immediately.

It means they don't know when he will be back, could be a month, could be for the season. With a sprained ankle, it should not be more than a week, in fact Yahoo Sports says "he may not even miss a single game."

If you are sure there is no break or dislocation, it's probably a soft tissue injury, which are very painful and very slow to heal. Try rotating ice and wet heat on the injury when her will allow it, (30 min each, then 2 hours off) and have her move her ankle around so the joint doesn't freeze up while healing. The ice will help whatever swelling she may experience, and the heat will soothe and draw the blood into the area to help healing.   Some soft tissue injuries take longer to heal completely than breaks do.   Poor baby.

Talk to your doctor about what exercises you can do.  You don't want to injure your ankle or disrupt the healing.

Yes, you will be able to run again. Just make sure you go to physical therapy and do all the exercises they give you and your ankle should be close to what it was before it was broken. One big warning though, in colder weather or stormy weather it might ache.
