sprained ankle, don't know what to do

two weeks ago i tripped and fell on the sidewalk and landed on the side of my ankle. it was very painful and swollen and i followed the RICE method but it doesn't seem to be working. my ankle is still very sore even when i'm sitting and it starts to throb when i get up. i can limp on it a little bit but it still hurts too much to walk very much. it's also still gets pretty swollen. is this normal for a sprained ankle and is there anything else i should do?

Worn daily for a few minutes to several hours, the night splint, over time has been clinically proven to reduce the pain and discomfort of plantar fasciitis and other overuse injuries of the lower leg.
