Answers:
First you need to get some cold packs from the drug store and put on the ankle for 10 min and off 10 min repeat it until the bed time. Wrap your ankle with elastic bandage or an ankle support. Keep it elevated on a stool or a chair with a comfy pillow underneath. Try not to bear weight on the swollen ankle. See how you progress, if you tolerate Ibuprofen take it for pain and also it reduces swelling and infection. Tomorrow morning if the swelling did not go down, and you have more pain and discomfort .? Then you might seek a med attention. I don't think you have broken the ankle, but again it could be just mild sprain, or a torn ligament .? rather serious... Take it easy.Health Question & Answer
hands down you need an x-ray. because if its broken and you don't go to the doctor for a week and the bones start to set when you do go to the Dr they may have to re-brake it to set it properly. i completely shattered all the bones in my wrist and could still write, pick things up and function some what properly. i wouldn't risk it.Health Question & Answer
i would say you just sprained your ankle because i sprained my ankle before and i could move it but if you broke it you probably could not move it but to be sure i would go to the doctor and get x-rays just to be sure
