Injury tore superficial capillary blood vessels and the local bleeding left a bruise. This is a common manifestation of an ankle sprain.

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?
