What's the different symptoms from a broken or sprained ankle?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Broken: They can have very similar symptoms but it depends on the severity of the fracture and the severity of the sprain. This not a simple question at all. There are classification systems for fractures and sprains and both require x rays and /or ct or MRI imaging to determine what is really going on. See your podiatrist for assistance.

Ankle Sprain: Ankle sprains are very common injuries. There's a good chance that while playing as a child or stepping on an uneven surface as an adult you sprained your ankle--some 25,000 people do it every day. http://www.aofas.org/footcaremd/how-to/foot-injury/pages/how%20to%20care%20for%20a%20sprained%20ankle.aspx
