they hurt really bad and I can hardly walk


Answers:

Elevate them and ice them. Taking some Motrin will help relieve the pain and most important help with the swelling. You will need to stay off of them to allow for healing. You still may need to see a doctor, especially since both ankles are involved. Ankle sprains and fractures are very slow in healing and are very painful as you already are probably aware of. If the swelling and pain is real intense and you don't see or get any relief after several hours you may need to go and get some x-rays.
