Sprained ankle...how long before I can bike?

[zoom-zoom]

Sorry you injured your ankle. Sprains HURT. They can take up to 4-6 weeks to feel better. Again I've been a podiatry nurse for 2 years. We see lots of sprains. Wrap it. ICE, elevate!! Do range of motion excercises. and remember to be patient.

Thanks so much for your input! This is pretty much what I am reading everywhere. I'm hoping I'm closer to 4 weeks for recovery. But at least I have no races on the agenda until late Aug., and that is just a fun 5k mud run. Everything else I wanted to do is biking and no real pressure, just want to build up my miles.

So far my pain is very minimal. Every day my ankle feels better...it's mostly just stiff and feels pretty weak.
