My ankle has been hurting for a day, because it was hit hard by a hammer, swollen, applied pain relief cream and strapped, can't apply pressure?

Apply ice: A hammer would hurt anyone.....Depending on how hard it hit you, an x-ray may be a good idea if pain persists.

Ankle pain: Because there was trauma involved you may have have a fracture. Could be a bone bruise as well.
