Family practice : You could. Doesn't sound urgent. Ice it. Take Motrin rest it. Then see a dr. May need pt or MRI if a ligament tear has occurred.

Definitely: Falls can be very dangerous, especially on ice. It isn't unsual that we think we are ok & "shake it off" only to find we worsen with time. It could be from swelling, which can take up to 72 hrs. To get to maximum level but not being able to bear weight makes me think it could be more. I certainly would go & have it checked out to be sure.
