What Causes Ankle Pain And Coldness In Foot/toes?

I sprained my ankle over a week ago while hiking. I went to my doctor and he said it is just a sprain. To wear an air boot thing for 4-6 weeks. Now my ankle is in pain still. Even when I am sitting. Also my foot and toes got extremely cold and am having a hard time keeping to warm once I get it kind of warm. What does that mean
