A nasty sprain can take months to heal. Are you involved with any physical therapy? Has your ankle been x-rayed?
Have you been ruled fit for duty or are still on lite duty?

Unfortunately, its true, a bad sprain can take several weeks to heal. If previous x-rays were negative, an MRI may be needed to evaluate the extent of the damage, if there is no further improvement in your condition.
