Hello, I had an ankle sprain on Dec 8th 2017, and my ankle had stretched inwards (facing the right ankle during the stretch). It has been close to 3 weeks, there is still a slight swell, and the range of motion is restricted. I am travelling on Dec 27th till Jan 2nd 2018. Will it be an issue if I walk a lot. To add I have been using an ankle brace Regards.

Hello lybrate-user, ankle sprain takes time to heal, swelling and pain may remains almost 6 weeks or even more so I don't think you need to worry just give time it will heal till then keep limb elevated while sleeping and strengthening exercises.
