Answer
Ashish,
At this point rest is the best for your injured ankle.  You should also be sure that your entire frame is in proper alignment so that you will heal properly and more efficiently and also decrease the likelihood of having a recurring injury.
Tell me where you are located and I will see if I can send you to a specialist that can help you.
