I have sprained my ankle nearly 2 months ago, but I visited a doctor after 1 month when pain didn't subsided. Doc plastered for 2 weeks and after I started a little exercise and hot and cold water fomentation, elevating etc. It's been 3 weeks. Pain isn't subsiding .can I go to office with anklet on or should I take another week rest?

Did you do an x-ray of affected ankle. If no then go for it. There can be hairline fracture.

It is better that you take rest for one more week. Do waxbath for 15 days and stretching exercises.
