Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.It is ankle sprain. MRI shows complete tear of one and partial tear another ligament. Its treatment is immobilisation by cast. Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief can be given. It will be beneficial to consult the orthopedician. If not able to cosult specialist then rest to ankle by preferably by cast is important. If you can't got cast then splints available available in market can be useful. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
