Water cast.: The swelling is a good indicator that the ankle is unstable. Swelling is the body's way of trying to remedy the problem. Having said that, there is a high possibility that the injury to the ankle was more than initially suspected. It is quite possible that both bone and ligament were damaged. To remove all doubt, have your foot evaluated by a bone specialist.
