Suggest Treatment For Sprained Ankle

I badly sprained my ankle on Sunday. It had an X-ray and he said it wasn't broken. I have grade 2 ligament damage. I have been trying to exercise it as advised. Everytime I walk on it, I feel sick. My gate is improving slowly but is still very limited. I have bruising and swelling all over my foot and ankle but also halfway up my shin. Is feeling so sick normal?

It is recommended to elevate your limb under pillow, ice fomentation, give rest and Creepe bandage support.

Which usually settles down with time.
