Ankle sprain.: Sounds like a minor sprain. So long as you are able to bear weight on it, I would not be too concerned. Rest, ice, ACE wrap compression, and elevation should reduce any discomfort you might experience.

I accidentally hit my ankle 3 days ago with a heavy metal lawn chair. (Right under the ankle bone) There is no bruising and very little swelling. But to move it, touch it, put weight on it and walk on it, it is very painful. What could it be?
