Anyway to help rehabilitate a sprained ankle? My ankle still aches around the top joint and around the inside back of the ankle close to the archilles..

With a powerball? Or just generally?
The pain near the achilles is most likely a muscle called peroneus longus, that tries really hard to stop you spraining your ankle. Of course, it failed, which is why you have a sore ankle in the first place. It will have been injured slightly during this process.
Best bet is (boring though it may be) to practise standing on one leg.
It will work the peroneus muscle and prevent it from happening again.
The powerball foot trainer, that I've never tried, could work, the theory certainly suggests it should.
