Answers:
Ouch, you poor thing!. Even just a sprain is soooo painful!. Try this, sit on the couch with your leg (with the bad ankle) stretched out on the couch so there's no pressure on it at all!. Can you move your ankle around without too much pain!? If you can move it and it only hurts when you stand and put pressure on it, it's probably a sprain!. But if it's a fracture, it'll hurt just moving it!. But this is not medical assessment, I'm just a mother who goes by instinct!. If you're not sure, just go to the doctor!. In the meantime, if it's swollen, I think ice packs on the swelling could help!.

well i'd say it could easily be a break but could also be a very bad sprain but definately go see a doctor, or a physio is even better because even if its just sprained they will give you exercises and stuff the help it heal and have a better knowledge of this kind of thing and they cant still send u for a x-ray and that if they suspect a break!. Always best to check it out
