How can i heal a twisted ankle within 24 hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ankle: You can't heal a twisted ankle in 24 hours. You can stabilize it but not heal a true sprained ankle in that time period.

A member asked:

How do I know how serious my ankle injury is? I twisted my ankle walking (rolled it) and it hurts pretty bad and is swollen. Could I have broken it? If it is a sprain, do I need to see a doctor or will it just heal on its own?
