Ankle Sprain Not Improving

I sprained my ankle this past January 28. My dorsiflexion (putting my toes up) and driving my knee forward is still restricted despite doing rehab. Saw orthopedic doctor, he didn’t order MRI and he referred me to PT (but PT wasn’t helpful. He constantly had me do 5 minute stretches in the clinic then a massage at the end. So he wasn’t helpful.)

I budged him to give me the home exercise programs. Hasn’t been improving, more of a plateau now.

I asked my family doctor to refer me to another PT. I’m still waiting for it to get approved.

What should I do guys? I’m so frustrated to not be able to run yet.
