Hi..
The problem in your ankle is due to sprain in inferior talo fibular joint...termed as High ankle sprain... It will take a bit longer time to heal...Don't worry...
I recommend you to continue
Icing frequently... Keep your ankle wrapped as you do now... Gentle massage over calf muscle...and outer muscles of leg... once pain permits gently stretch the calf and outer keg muscles..glute muscles.... Don't bear weight on the injured leg as this would disturb the healing process... Start glute stability and ankle rehab immediately...
Hope this is helpful for you... Kindly revert back in case you need any further help in this regard
