most sprained ankles improve in about two weeks (80%) so you should stay off of your ankle (crutches are best) use the air cast and take some ibuprofen for the swelling. elevating you leg as well as ice compresses also help. the number 845. 00 is just the icd code for the diagnosis of a sprained ankle that is used for insurance billing. the medical provider who saw you is the one that should have addressed these questions. unfortunately since i can't examine your ankle there is really little that i can do over the internet to determine how bad your sprain might be.
