Ankle pain: Likely a contusion. Consider seeing your doctor for an X-ray to rule out a fracture.

Possible sprain: A sprain of the ankle is due to a partial tear of the ligaments that hold the ankle bones together. Some bruising and swelling will occur. For 1st 48-72 hours RICE: Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevate. No heat or massage. After 72 hours can add some heat if soothing. **If you are unable to walk or bear weight on the foot or if pain is severe>>must see a physician. More info>...http://bit.ly/1D9wrfv
