I am assuming you have had an x-ray to make sure there is no fracture. Since you are still having pain, you should see the orthopedic doctor again to see if a repeat X-ray or an MRI might be helpful. Sometimes, a fracture doesn’t show on x-ray right away. If it is a sprain, continuing PT will be helpful. Hope you feel better real soon!
