When first injured I was seen at the ER and ran out of pain medication and went to my PCM that told me to keep in wrapped ice and rest which I have done he told me I tore the tendons and if not better to come back in 2 weeks! It is almost 2 weeks and there is no openings till the end of this month!

Embarrassingly enough, I once sprained my ankle badly playing Dance Dance Revolution. It was very painful to walk on for about a month, then tender and fragile (couldn't walk a lot per time) for many months after. Even sitting certain ways caused pain, (like if I tried sitting cross-legged on the floor at all and ANY weight was on the side of my ankle, there was TERRIBLE, shooting pain), and it took almost a year for it to be totally normal again.
A sprain can a take quite a while to completely heal, depending on the severity. Keep it iced, elevated, and keep off it as much as possible. It will heal but you will have to be patient.
I would, however, strongly recommend seeing a doctor to get that official diagnosis of a sprain, and rule out any broken ankle bones or muscle/tendon tears. Those can take a very long time to heal, and they may require additional medical care and/or casting or a brace to heal correctly.
Best wishes!

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

is the pain getting worse?
call ur MD's office and inform the receptionist that it was vital that your MD sees you on a specific time frame, not end of this month. the trick is to use the right words and pleasant personality so you win the receptinist's sympathy. but if they still can't squeeze u in, go to ER.
next time when ur MD tells u to come back within 2 months, you should go to the receptionist and schedule it right away before u leave ur MD's clinic. most appt managers can schedule clients that far ahead.
hope u'll feel better.
