Ankle injury: If there is swelling,discoloration or intense pain, have an examination in the hospital emergency room. An xray will most likely be performed. If the symptoms are mild, rest the leg, elevate the leg and apply cold compresses over a towel. Apply an ACE bandage for ankle support. See a physician as needed.

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?
