Answers:

You need to go to the emergency room at the nearest hospital. Even if you think it's a sprain or bruise. You need to be sure. You need to have x-rays taken of your ankle. This exact thing happened to my nephew. He decided to go to the emergency room the next day and was wheeled into the operating room. He had 2 screws inserted in his ankle. Good luck. Hope it's not serious.
