Ankle injury: Ice and safe shoe are essential. I think xray is important, for if you have achip or fracture, care is important.

Bone broken?: Without seeing the bruising, swelling and range of motion it is not possible to evaluate your ankle without taking X-rays. Have it examined by a physician who will probably order X-rays. Until then rest, use ice and keep it elevated to reduce swelling.
