See your podiatrist: You can have a sprain that hurts too bad to walk on and you can have a mild fracture that you can walk on. Protect your future and see your podiatrist who will examine and x ray it and get you back to activity.

Xray 1st: The fact that one simply can bear weight on the injured ankle would not mean it is not broken. Xray assessment could help to rule out a fracture.
