Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. If there is just a sprain, and there is no bony injury, there is no reason why you have been kept on complete bed rest. You can wear a good quality ankle brace and start mobilizing, normally soft tissue injuries take around 3 weeks to heal if proper management is done. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
