How to Rehab a Sprained Ankle at Home Fast

I rolled my ankle pretty badly on a hike last weekend and it is currently the size of a grapefruit. I am looking for how to rehab a sprained ankle at home fast. I have already done the initial rest and elevation but now I want to start moving it again so I do not lose too much range of motion.

I am looking for some gentle mobility exercises like ankle circles and alphabet tracing. I am also wondering when it is safe to start doing some weight bearing exercises like calf raises or balance work. I have a trip planned in three weeks and I really want to be able to walk without a limp by then.

What are your go to rehab moves for a sprain? I am in the US and I do not want to go to a physical therapist if I can handle this on my own. I have been using a compression wrap during the day which helps with the stability. I would love to hear your success stories with fast ankle recovery!
