Discuss with doctor: Continue to stay off foot, rest, elevate, ice. Take Ibuprofen to help with the swelling. Sprains take time to heal. Check in with your doctor.

Are you elevating: The ankle above your heart for at least 30 minutes ever 2 hours? Are you able to ice it? Have you had pain and swelling higher up in the leg than you would expect considering the location of the injury? And lastly have you been evaluated by an orthopedist? One concern I have is the development of a deep vein clot due to trauma and decreased movement due to injury. I think you should be rexamined.
