Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
2 months is sufficient time for healing of injury, but since you have pain indicates that healing of tissue has not occurred.
As per your history and injury pattern there can be persistent tear if ankle ligament leading to pain or knee.
Instability may increase due to laxity of ligament.
You may need clinical examination from specialist and need to diagnose structure injured.

I will advise to MRI for soft tissue involvement.
Till time you can use supportive splint or brace.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.

Injury is in right hip. I had clicked on that part of body thinking it would transfer. Not ankle but across hip bone area.

Thank you. I was hoping there was something I could do at home. I can't afford Mri/specialist/therapy. I have a full script of Prednisone I didn't use when my sciatic nerve acted up. Could that help?
