Can ankle sprain really be cured 100%?

it's the 4th week after i have sprained my ankle, and i can already get back to my activities but i still got some little pain and uncomfortable after wake up from bed, jumping vigorously and squating. Is there anyway to fully cure ankle up to 100%?

@kaederukawa187 Is your sprain fixed. If not are you doing anything for it. If yes, what did you do?
