If : Still painful after that amount of time? Was it immobilized? Get therapy? If you had treatment and still painful it most likely time to have it repaired. If no treatment yet, get some. Consult with foot and ankle specialist.

See specialist.: It is not common to have tear of those ligaments. Typically if the posterior talofib is torn, the anterior talofib and calcaneaofib also torn. The talocalcaneal lig also hard to tear. This may mean very high level ankle sprain and a foot/ankle specialist is needed.

Ankle Instability: Try bracing. However, if you feel you've exhausted nonsurgical treatments have remedies, then you should consult your physician for a foot and ankle surgeon. You may need a surgical procedure to stabilize your ankle instability. I hope this helps, good luck.

Have it evaluated.: Pain may last a long time following a foot or ankle injury. An x-ray can show if there is an underlying fracture. You may have a soft tissue injury if it is just a sprain and may have damaged the muscle, tendon, or ligaments in the area. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment. If the pain has not improved with conservative measures surgery may be a good option.
