Yes , for pain relie: It depends on how severe is your injury. How did you hurt your ankle?. Is there a broken bone(then you have to go to ER). If you can walk, then it is unlikely you have a broken bone. If you can not walk, then Go to ER now(before it is mid night). Going late means a lot more delay in finding a good doctor as you may need a bone specialist like an Orthopedic doctor.
