ankle sprain - how long does it take to heal?

Rolled my ankle 6 weeks ago. Doc said its a high ankle sprain (see pic) which is more severe than the more common low ankle sprain. It's a grade 1 sprain so I can walk without pain but after a while it starts to ache a little.

The early Swelling is mostly all gone but the area (red arrow in the second pic) does feel little tender to the touch. Compared to the non injured ankle the fibula (the red arrow area) feels thicker and seems to swell a little if I walk too much.l .

Have you had a high ankle sprain? what grade was it? how long did it take to heal and for you to get back to play. The doc did say 3 months but i wanted to know your experience recovering from this injury.

Thank you
