Ankle: Sounds like you may have torn something in your ankle. The tingling may be due to nerve compression from the swelling itself. Will probably resolve when swelling goes away. If not call you physician.

Ankle sprain: Rest, ice, compression (wrap), elevation (RICE) recommended for this injury early on. If you can bear weight without too much pain = good sign. Support =good thing, an ankle stirrup brace or lace up brace can be helpful (avail at drugstore). Gentle range of motion exercises (foot up/down, side to side) helpful. Bruising very common, should fade. OTC advil/aleve. No better in 1 week, get eval.
