    Have you seen a doctor about it yet?

    If it's really a sprain, it could take weeks.

    See a doctor... you could easily have torn ligiments or tendons and it would feel exactly the same... trust me as I've done that as well as having sprained mine on several previous occaisions.

    It could even be fractured and that is not something you want to mess with.
