How long does it take to heal a sprain?

[Dzone]

Since everyone is different, and things like age, nutrition etc play a factor, how long does it take your body to heal a sprain? Like 6 weeks? Im a little concerned because I sprained my right middle finger(MCP joint) lifting an old tv set into a truck. 2 weeks ago. It is kind of hampering my workouts and it is still swollen and still hurts to grip hard. Only thing I have done is to move the joint actively back and forth as much as I can. Dammit

Yes thats right...I worry about something chronic developing if I dont stop beating the hell out of it...lol..sometimes, we gotta back off and let shit heal but its hard to do. I hate it
Especially when something small like a finger messes up the program

Did you get it xrayed dzone? I don't think anyone can really put a time on how long. being that it is your finger and you have to use it on a daily bases, it will probably take longer.

I know. Very frustrating. Other than squats, every exercise is painful and makes my finger hurt like hell. Ive tried to soldier on and ignore it, but it is probably keeping it inflamed. I need to get some enzyme tabs like wobenzyme and take a whole bottle over 2 or 3 days, but they are crazy expensive

Hmm, I wonder if anything topical would help it? You still take the turmeric? There is always a cortisone shot but not what you really want to do I am sure

Yes,for sure, I take all the supplements. Not so bad to need a cortisone shot. I feel sure it will heal, Im just impatient.I do have some chinese tendon linament that I forgot about. I will start putting it on there. Thanks for the reminder.
