sprained ankle

I sprained my ankle 10 days ago.
I still have swelling, bruising, and have developed what feels like bone pain around my external ankle, and have shooting pains up the side of my leg.
Additionally the leg from the ankle up to mid calf is extrememly tender to the touch.
I have limited movement if trying to roll my toe inward and have about 70% mobility moving my foot up and down.
I had x-ray’s and they said there was no break.
Is it normal to have pain like this and swelling after 10 days of continued elevation, ice and ibuprofin?

    HOW MANY WEEKS DOES A GRADE TWO SPRAINED ANKLE NEED TO HEAL COMPLETELY? I was injured with a grade two sprained ankle.On July 10, of this year. I went to the emergency room and the doctor gave me a prescription to lower the swelling. I followed as the doctor said REST ICE COMPRESION ELEVATE for three to five days, they also gave me an ankle brace to wear for two to three weeks. Since then, I still feel pain and don’t know when the ankle will heal completely.
