Dear Ozzie,
Sorry to hear about the fall.
The ankle being a weight bearing joint always takes time to heal. IF there is a definite evidence of the ligament being torn, I think you should seriouly consider some surgical intervention.
YOu mention a boot. Is it something like a cast? In any case, the ankle needs to be supported well everytime you walk either with a crepe bandage or whatever advise the orthopaedic suggests.
YEs taking the pain modalities and possibly any concomittant causative factor, consider different remedies. Evaluate frequently. My experience suggests that adequate remedy repetition is required as well.
All the best!
