Answers:
It's impossible to know if it's fractured or sprained unless you have it x-rayed and checked by a doctor!. The swelling you describe certainly warrants medical attention!. If it's a sprain, it can take weeks to months to heal depending on severity and how much stress is put on the ankle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Give it about 2 to 3 weeks to really start feeling better!!!
