Brief answer...given below
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Sprained ankle takes about 3 weeks to become all right.
You can do hot saline FOMENTATION tics a day for reduction of swelling and inflammation,however sprained ankle should not cause tiredness and fatigue.
Tiredness in walking can be due to various reasons like...
Uncobtrolled diabetes and anemia as you said.
Low VIT B12 levels
Low VIT D levels
High blood pressure or some effect on heart like early congestive heart failure.
It would be best on your part to go to your doctor and get yourself properly evaluated,so that a cause can be found and proper treatment instituted.
I hope it helps,however ypu may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
