I did not break mine but sprained both and my ankles at 14 and 15 and now swell all the time when I do a lot of walking or activity.
The only thing I can tell you is to use ice for the swelling.
Also try to do some ankle strengthening exercises this should help also I was told by my foot doctor.
Have not tried it myself but I will once I am healed after my latest sprain.
Chop it off!!!
No seriously, if you excersise more then the blood will get round yr body more efficiently and that way the swelling will go down quicker.
They say ice works, you could try that, it may give you some relief.
I'ts not now you have to worry, it's wen you get older then you will noctice it giving you a right ole load of gyp!!
Good Luck, hope that helped.
