Have it reevaluated: Was the ankle x rayed? Usually severe sprains are treated with immobilization. Was yours? In any event, have the ankle reevaluated by an orthopedist.

Treatment of ankle: Swelling will decrease once sprain has been treated. Xray, wrapping, ice and possibly physical therapy will help you along. Best of luck - dr youner.
