Ankle pain: This could be a contusion or bone bruise which can be painful and tender for days. However the presence of associated swelling raises the possibility of a fracture and warrants an examination by a physician and an xray would most likely be recommended as part of the evaluation.

Bearing Weight: If a person cannot bear weight on an ankle after trauma, immediate medical attention should be sought out because it is a prime indicator of a more serious injury.
