Be seen: It is hard to say without the benefit of an exam and xray. If it seems like it was mild, you could rest, elevate and ice it. If it seems more severe I would be seen to rule out a more serious injury such as a fracture; particularly if you can not bear weight on it.

Could be: Fractures are best diagnosed with an xray. If you are concerned and the pain has not subsided I recommend getting an exam for the proper diagnosis and treatment for you!

I rolled my ankle playing basketball. It is swollen, painful, bruised on 2 sides, but I can walk on it well. Sound like a sprain? Signs of fracture?

I have somehow injured my left ankle. I'm not sure if it is sprained, or there's a hairline fracture, as it's so painful even to bear weight on it or walk. I am limping very badly. It is very swollen, bruised and tender to the touch. Please help me?
