Ankle injury: You should have this evaluated since your symptoms can indicate a severe sprain bur could be a chip fracture. Your primary care physician can order an x-ray to help evaluate it.

Either fracture or s: If you are limping and the ankle is swollen and bruised, you need an x ray to determine if their is a fracture or it is a soft tissue injury, like a sprain. Treatrment for these entities is different so diagnosis is very important
