It doesn't limit me in squatting or deadlifting, or any other exercises, but there is still pain when I am just sitting still, not doing anything.
And, if I try to run on an uneven surface, I can definitely feel the pain.
Basically, anything I can do? Should I try any exercises for it? I did rice the first week or two it was injured. It was not broken, but sprained and had a mild swell...no bruise.

Was it a really bad sprain?
3 months is a long time to still be recovering from the sprain.
Did you rest your ankle and let it recover properly?
I know you said it was not broken, but are you 100% sure?
Here are some stretches and strengthening exercises for if you are sure that it is not broken:

I did the RICE technique for about a week before anything else...went about a month off from weights, should be enough rest, right?
Been 3 months+ now.
Thanks for the link!
Well, I am not 100% sure it is not broken, however I have reason to believe it was only a sprain. I can move it up and down, left and right, and horizontally. I can squat a few hundred pounds on it, I can run, I can jump, etc. Could I do those if it were broke?(not being smarty, just ignorant and wanting to know )
It only hurts now if I move it the wrong way, so I don't know what to think. It's nothing major, but I do feel it limits me from running up hills as it hurts and I don't want to re injure it.If life gives you AIDS, make lemonAIDS

It sounds like you have done everything right.
It is important to keep doing exercises for your ankle, as after you have sprained it badly the ligaments lose their "memory" and it makes it very easy to sprain in again.
It's a possibilty that you have a chipped bone. A small chip wouldn't really prevent you from exercising or weights, but it could make it painful, which kind of sounds like your situation.
I would suggest maybe seeing a doc and getting and MRI or something. Like honez said, it's hard to know what the deal is until then.Stop looking at me Swan.
