Had a mri to check ankle ligs, doc said everything is healed but it is just inflamed , now what?

Okay so doctor was in another country and I don't speak their language, inflammed was the only word he said in English after they knew I didn't speak their language. So it has been a week of wearing this ankle boot also taking ibuprofen and I just stretched my ankle and it was like a sharp pain...

Anyways how long would it take for inflammation to go down completely?

Second question

What would happen if I were to start running on treadmills everyday for 20 miles with it still inflammed? If it stays inflammed forever whats the worst that could happen?

Would I need surgery to fix it?

Inflammation on a continuous basis weakens the affected body parts, produces all sorts of unpleasant bio-products which stress the rest of your body, and will increase cortisol levels due to constant pain.

Bad juju.

As to "how long" hell, that just varies based on the cause of the inflammation, the treatment, and you.
