I've complete torn atfl.last injury 9,wks ago.still hurts to walk and swells up.should it be braced/cast/bandage while i wait for orthoped appointment

Torn ATFL: Ankle sprains often result in a torn ATFL. Initial treatment for ankle sprains is rest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE). After 10-14 days of this, symptoms should improve. Physical therapy is useful to restore ankle motion and strength. In your case, pain and swelling has persisted and may indicate other problems, like cartilage injury. Recommend immobilization to protect the ankle.
