Depends on type: Ankle sprains could have a great variation from a mild sprain of the outer ankle to high ankle or more serious outside and inside ankle. Also you could tear tendons on the outside part of the ankle called peroneal tendons and fractures: ankle fracture, the 5th metatarsal or talus. You need a podiatrist to exam and diagnose you before you could get an answer. Stop exercise immediately!
