In April I started working out. I worked out for 2 months solid. Then on my last day for the week I decided to play some basketball at the gym. Well I landed on some kids foot and sprained my ankle really bad( went to emergency room). Couldnt walk on it for 3 weeks. Now its October and I still cannot run or jump. The elliptical is the only thing I can use. Any have a sprain like this?

Take it from a guy who has had so many ankle injuries from football i feel ive become a bit of an expert.
First of all it sounds to me like if you are still having issues with it you probably had a high ankle sprain. I growing up had many sprains and tweaks on my ankle but all would be 90-100% better in only 1 week at most. Later on I suffered my first "high ankle sprain," the major difference for me was it just didnt seem to want to get better. Weeks went by and I still was unable to jog, in total it took me 5 weeks to resume playing football and close to 3 months to heal up to close enough to 100%.
6 Months later I high ankle sprained the same ankle, this time it took me 7 months before I played a game completely pain free. Currently its one year later and im still not quite 100%
The key with ankles if you had a negative X-RAY is getting active on them the sooner the better. I certainly wouldnt recommend running a marathon the day after a severe injury, but I do urge you to fight through the pain as soon as it becomes bearable. Your ankle will feel like crap trust me but it needs to be mobilized to help regain the strength and range its lost while being inactive and you'll be amazed how it will actually feel better the next day after youve pushed it a bit.
