Go to physiotherapy: If you had x-rays that showed no broken bones, you likely have a moderate ankle sprain. It is common with ankle sprains to have up to 6 weeks of swelling. General ideas to treat this include an ankle brace, icing, anti-inflammatory medication and giving it time. I would recommend consulting a physiotherapist to work on ankle motion, swelling control and strengthening exercises.
