You poor thing...a bad sprain can be really terrible. A few years back I broke one ankle and sprained the other one really bad, and the sprain took longer to heal than the break plus it still bothers me at times...Give it plenty of time to heal and wear that brace whatever else you do. Saying a prayer for you.
