A week ago, i severely rolled my ankle. i have been icing it and keeping it wrapped. it is still swollen around the ankle bone. did i tear a ligament?

Possible: It is entirely possible that you sprained it, but also possible that you may have a fracture. The fact that it has been a week and it is still swollen makes me think it would be a wise idea to go to your physician who will be better able to examine it. It may also be wise to get xrays. It is hard to say what is wrong without actually seeing it.

Possibly: It sounds like you need to be seen if it has not improved in this time frame.

You: May have a fracture or a torn ligament. You need x-rays and treatment.

Ankle: The only way to tell is with an exam and x rays see your podiatrist.
