Time to see doc: While circumstances are missing, your symptoms are highly suggestive of an ankle sprain at least. You will need an exam, +/- an X-ray based on exam findings. The sooner, the better.

A member asked:

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?
