RICE

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

yes you probably have a nasty sprain and it will bruise and hurt to walk on it but icing and ibuprofin makes the swelling go down. Compression with an ankle brace or an Ace wrap will take some pressure off of it. when it starts to feel better, do some rehab exercises like writing ABCs with your ankle and it should help the ligament heal.

Hope it gets better soon!!

GO GET AN X-RAY TAKE NO CHANCES

you need an assessment and an xray by a qualifed medical professional to rule out a fracture.

In the mean time RICE is right. ...now call the doctor or get thee to the emergency room

ice......then go to your doctor.........massage it
