Please don't play: Most likely your ankle is sprained. It needs time to heal. I know you probably like to play soccer a lot, but if you play now while your ankle is still healing there is a very good chance that you will hurt it worse and it will take longer to heal. I would not play soccer for 1-2 weeks. That way you can play later in the summer without a problem.

No: Might have a fracture and or soft tissue damage and activity will make it worse. Try rice method rest, ice, compression and elevation and get checked before activity.

My ankle has very limited mobility (can't move it up or down or barley side to side). I can put weight on it, but I walk funny & it's swollen. I think I hurt it punting a soccer ball, but not sure. What's wrong & how do I treat it? (been sprained b4?
