Ankle sprain is a type of injury in which the tissues around the ankle joint have been torn or traumatized. Usually such condition results to pain and swelling of the injured joint. Sprain is different from strain for it only affects the ligament and healing is longer than that of strain.
Although sprain mostly occurs in ankles, but it can also happen to other joints such as shoulders, elbows, wrists, and knees.

You could have a fracture. It,s best that you get a x-ray, so you will know for sure, meanwhile keep it wrapped with a ace bandage, and dont bear any weight on it untill you find out if it,s a fracture or bad sprain.
