Usually for sprained ankle 6 weeks of POP  and rest is sufficient . Your 90% of pain is relieved and only 10% is remaining.I would suggest you to give some more time, don't put lot of weight on the foot that is affected and use ankle brace . Sometimes healing takes longer time.  Otherwise if it's bothering you a lot then the next step is to do MRI , after which it will be clear what grade of ligament tear you had or whether it is healed properly or not .
