Atfl ankle sprain
22nd July, I met with an accident, since then I have consulted 3 doctors for my ATFL sprain. It was an inversion sprain as my leg was under the bike when I had fallen and it had bent due to weight.
I don't have any open wounds and the bruising is gradually fading away.
I have been told to use air boot which I have used since 3 weeks now. In my last follow up I have been told to wear it for another 2 weeks which has extended to 13 , September.
Do I need to start gradually putting weight in the air boot now?
Please guide me as to when can I start walking and is it okay to take physio now, I have also attached some pictures (xray and the foot how it looks now)
Thank you doctors.

You are in the right direction in your treatment.
You can gradually resume weight bearing walking as pain tolerated.
No need for physiotherapy at present.
Hope you recover soon.
