I am 34 years mom. My right foot got simple tissue injury near the ankle. How long it will take to heal?

Question

I guess it is a soft tissue injury at right ankle. The recovery time from grade 1 soft tissue injuries is one to two weeks and three to four weeks for grade 2.grade 3 requires immediate assessment and treatment, with much longer recovery time. Try to use ice cold packs for 20 minutes at a time ,3-4 times in a day. Wear an elastic compression bandage. Elevation of right leg while sleeping. Take a break from the activity that increases your pain. Retain muscle strength. Have protien rich food .protien is an important building block for many tissues. Enrich with omega -3 fatty acids and vit .d.

Hi, May be 2 weeks minimum. Rest of the time do with rest, compression with crepe bandage if swelling persists and keep your leg in and elevated position while sleeping with the help of pillow and apply ice over the injured part.
