Hi
Have you seen anyone other than your Doctor? And when did you see your Doctor? If it was soon after the injury then I would expect the typical rest and anti-inflammatories type advice.
But as it has been going on for so long now I think if you were to return you may get more help.
You could have injured a number of structures in your ankle, from the lateral ligaments, to the achilles or peroneal tendons or even the cartilage which lines the Talus bone.
You at least need an assessment from a qualified and experienced sports injury therapist and if not, then an MRI scan.
