You didn't mention anything about going to the doctor. If you haven't, you should at least go and get some x-rays done to make sure it wasn't broken.
Edit: When I sprained my ankle it took me about a month to be able to put pressure on it. About the only thing you can do is stay off of it as much as possible and also try to keep your foot propped up when possible. If haven't already been wearing one, you might try getting an ankle brace to wear. You can buy them at drugstores and of course Walmart. The one I had was nylon material and I could wear it with my shoes. It will help you keep from moving your ankle as much when trying to walk, which will help your ankle heal. That's about the only ideas I have. Good luck I hope this helps.

I sprained my ankle lower back in June and it purely have been given lower back to a hundred pc some month in the past. nevertheless hurts if I stand for a protracted time or over exert. would desire to take an entire year for each little thing to good as you utilize it on a daily basis.

That's happened to me as well. It depends on what part of the ankle you injured. If you rolled your ankle, then it will take a few months for it to heal, with proper treatment. You probably tore the ligament on the outside of your ankle from what i gather....and just massaging your ankle where it hurts can help a lot. Try to strengthen the ankle, too. :)

Go to the doctor! If your ankle still hurts that much, get it treated. If you had gone when you injured it, you would be almost healed now.
