Dislocated my ankle two weeks before graduating high school. The tendons didn't feel good enough for me to swing a bat for almost a decade. Less annoying to live with than a broken ankle, as you can put weight on it a lot sooner, but awful sports injury Dang, guess I severely miscalculated the implications. Hearing dislocation made me think it could be a few weeks, just like when guys dislocate shoulders, elbows, knees, etc. But it makes sense an ankle is a whole separate issue.
