You NEED to!: A broken ankle needs to be treated, especially if two bones are broken. If not, this could lead to permanent instability of the ankle and many problems in the future. You need to get to a doctor!

Broken Ankle: I'm really sorry to hear about your ankle. It is important for you to get to your doctor so he or she can examine you and take x-rays of your ankle. Maybe you could have someone give you a ride to the doctor.
