I sprained my ankle a couple months so but the muscle on top of my foot still feels sore. is this normal? what can i do to make it go away?

Rest: soft tissue injuries particularly in the ankle take several weeks to resolve. as long as you are continuing to improve I would continue your course of management work on your range of motion and strengthening you should continue to improve and expect resolution by 6 to 8 weeks
