I would recommend going to see your nearest podiatrist for an evaluation. The doctor will likely take a xray to make sure nothing is broken. Because of the swollen area, they may place a compressive ankle sock and place you in a walking boot for comfort for a few weeks. This means no dancing or other activities until your foot/ankle heals. Until then, keep ice on it, elevate it, and stay off of it as much as you can. You can take Advil/Aleve as needed for pain. Hope this helps!

Talk to your doctor right away, if you've broken it and your bones don heal properly being able to dance will be the least of your problems, and walking will be an extreme sport!!!

You have probably fractured it, but only an x-ray will tell for sure. You need to have it checked out... anytime it swells, you need to go.

They would start by x-raying it. Don't wait any longer on this. If you ruptured a tendon, the clock is running on successful reattachment! If it is broken--what color would you like your splint shoe or cast to be?
Get to the doctor's office asap.

u could have fractured the tip. it happended to my thumb before where part of your bone scrapes off. go to the doctor.

You may have initially bruised the ankle (swelling and discoloration of the injured part is common), but the re-injury could lead to a fracture.

You should be 1) applying ice to the ankle for 15 mins at a time 4 times daily 2) Elevate the leg to help decrease the swelling 3) Take Motrin or Advil because the are anti-inflammatory pills to decrease the swelling.

Your doctor can x-ray the injuried area and apply a splint or cast if needed. Also, lay off the ankle and use crutches or a cane if one is laying around the house.
