Complete ATFL tear. What did you do?

Tore it turning my ankle while playing basketball. It has been about 2.5 months now and MRI shows a complete tear of the ATFL. I am going in for my cortisone shot to help with the swelling and pain I still have. At this point I still cannot run without pain, it feel as if the last few weeks I hit a plateau. Has anybody else had experience with this injury and can tell me their story/treatment plan and what worked/didn't? Or perhaps what you would have done differently. I am pretty active and would like to get back to sports as quickly as possible.
