Constant ankle pain after 8 weeks

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I've been having ankle pain on the outer side of my left ankle for about 8 weeks now. I initially went to the emergency room when I first injured it because I thought I broke my ankle but they said it was just a sprain and sent me home with crutches and and ice pack. The way I this injury occurred was from a fall down 3 steps in my house. I tripped and fell onto the foot, rolled my ankle into inversion and then fell on it in plantar flexion. if that helps any.
