About a week in it is doing much, much better with little/no pain!. Range of motion is still not as good as the non injured ankle and swelling is still present as well as tenderness around the upper ankle!. There is some interesting brusing present, though!.

Answers:
looks like a grade 2 - partial tear (hence the bruising and swelling)
a break is unlikely but i would advise an xray to be sure!.
take anti-inflammatories+++
ice and elevate
use a compression bandage
get some ultrasound on it asap
start some proprioceptive exercises when it settles to prevent re-injuryWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sorry to hear about your injury!. I sprained my ankle over the winter and I had just about the same degree of swelling and bruising!. It will go away soon enough!. Don't baby your ankle, try to walk on it so that it will not become too weak!. The swelling will stick around for a while!. Try to elevate your ankle and/or ice it- this will help!.
Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh, that happened to me before!. Well, the pictures of the bruising looks exactly how mine turned out!. I really do not know what kind of sprain ti is!. But the brusing should go away soon!. If it really hurts and you cant really walk on it you should go to the doctor!. But otherwise it will soon heal!./Www@Answer-Health@Com
