Answers:
Ice and an anti-inflammatory medication will help the swelling!. Do not ice it for more than 15-20 min!. at a time!.

You need to have a doctor look at it!. Having it still be so swollen after two days is significant!. Only an x-ray will tell you if it is broken!. However, you can sprain it badly and cause additional damage by overusing it and not caring for it properly!. My daughter sprained her ankle so bad that she got an avulsion fracture which is caused by the soft tissue ripping off a piece of the bone!.

Go see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

heyy!. ya go get n xray it mihgt not seem like it hurts enough to be broken but i still might be!. I broke my wrist and i didnt think it was broken cause they said i would cry and scream but i didnt :P
so just get an xray just in case a cople hours in the aiting room is better than long term pain :) good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

It's the pain for the cleat hitting you hard you probably bruised really bad!. Take some pain killers or put some ice on it to keep the pain and swelling down!. If it gets worse see a doctor just incase anythings wrong!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you need to get to a hospsital!. it could be broken!. ive heard of people walking around not knowing their ankles were broken!. you could do a lot of damage!. the only way to know for sure is to get a xray!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
