Why is my ankle taking so long to heal?

I sprained my ankle on the 18th of august and its still a little swollen and can be painful at times like for example when im taking off running shoes or something. Is this normal? I havnt been to a doctor at all but should i? Or will it heal on its own? A lot of people told me that itll heal on its own and that ankles just take a long long time to heal. True?
