Answers:
hi,
are you sure that you did not tear any muscles!?
having you been putting weight on the ankle [standing,walking] because swelling and pain equal injury!.
ice for 20 minutes of every hour, take anti-inflammaotry meds if you can (alleve or advil], your ankle should be wrapped with non-adhesive bandage or a laced ankle brace to prevent side-to-side movement during activites but not all the time!.
the ankle is slow to heal and can be re-injuried or stress fractured!. you want need to be careful because weak ankle muscles will just "pop" oneday and then you have a broken ankle which can take 6-12months to completely heal!.
also proper nutrition will help the healing process, calcium, protein, veggies, rice, pasta!.!.!.no fried food, sugar, alcohol, limit caffeine!.
good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
