Hi i rolled my ankle yesterday and there is swelling the size of a golf ball around my ankle bone but the pain goes up to my calf from my ankle?

Ankle Sprain: It sounds like an ankle sprain from the excessive inversion. Sometimes with high grade ankle sprains a fracture of the fibular bone could be present. Might want to rule out this possibility getting xray of ankle and proximal tibia/fibula. The other thing to bear in mind is that the ligament that stabilize the ankle could have also been teared. So if therapy and meds don't help get an MRI.
