Hi.... One simple exercise can enhance your strength of ankle movement. Just try to draw alphabet from your great toe with ankle movement but your leg should be static while making alphabet. Do it 3 sets thrice a day in lukewarm water.

Pain will subside gradually. Ice therapy is good for swelling reduction. Still, I would suggest some physiotherapist atleast for ten days , then you can do at your own
