Ankle injury: Possibilities include Achilles tendon tear or severe sprain of ligaments. Appearance of black and blue would indicate torn ligaments. Rest, cold applications, elevation of the foot and get examined by an orthopedic surgeon. Taking anti-inflammatory medications like Advil or Aleve could help if there's no bleeding. You want the best treatment to avoid more damage and chronic ankle problems.
