hello

i got hit on the left ankle and the inside of my tibia a little over a week ago with a 12" softball. my ankle is still swollen and sore, especially when i sit down for awhile then get up. it also feels very tight when i make certain movements. how long does this type of injury usually take to heal? i am a 37 year old male. very active and go to the gym 3 times a week. also, how long should i wait before rejoining my softball team and playing again? i also golf every weekend...should i take some time off from that to let my leg heal a little more?
