Sprained ankle: Ligamentous involvement is often graded: Grade 1 Stretching /slight tearing of the ligament with mild tenderness, swelling and stiffness. The ankle feels stable and it is usually possible to walk with minimal pain. Grade 2: A more severe sprain, but incomplete tear with moderate pain/swelling and bruising. Not knowing mechanism of injury suggests it should be examined by your physician.
