Ankle sprain is common injury to ankle
Ankle has various ligaments which can be damaged apart from bones
The degree of ligament injury is difficult to be analysed on Xray
If it has not healed by now you should revisit your Orthopaedic Surgeon
He may advise you to undergo a MRI scan to further diagnose the degree of sprain
Next Steps
Use a ankle support
Keep leg elevated
Avoid weight bearing and take complete rest to allow ligaments to heal

Sometimes ankle sprain take time to heal upto 3-6weeks depending upon severity of injury
