Get in.: Injured ankles can take a long time to heal. If you have not been in for evaluation, it would be important to get in and make sure you do not have a fractured bone. If there is no fracture, you will need good support of the joint, rest, and physical therapy.

I have somehow injured my left ankle. I'm not sure if it is sprained, or there's a hairline fracture, as it's so painful even to bear weight on it or walk. I am limping very badly. It is very swollen, bruised and tender to the touch. Please help me?
