Ankle sprain: Most likely you have sprained your ankle. I suggest you rest it, use Aleve (naproxen) or Ibuprofen for the swelling, and buy an ankle support at the pharmacy or sports store. If the pain continues you may need to see a doctor to get a x-ray.

RICE: I don't understand everything in this posting. Consider RICE —Rest your leg, apple ice to it, adding light compression like an ace wrap and elevate your foot/ ankle. If your injury doesn't respond to this basic approach, then consider medical evaluation.
