Rule out fracture: Symptoms are consistent with eother ankle sprain or ankle fracture. Don't mention how long since injury occurred. Worth getting ankle/foot x-ray in case bone is broken. In which case you may or may not require an orthopedic boot or cast and/or use crutches to avoid weight bearing. Good Luck
