A member asked:

What have i done to my ankle unable to bear weight! what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor!: I don't know what you did to your ankle either but if you are unable to bear weight it's potentially not so good. Like most things it should heal with some TLC and good medicine both of which are easily obtainable from your friendly local neighborhood foot and ankle specialist.
