Ankle pain due to twisting injuries are quite common.. I have seen you clinical photos and their is not much gross swelling and since you are able to bear weight on affected leg You no need to panic right now and an emergency x ray ankle is not mandatory Since you already started on analgesic and anti inflammatory drugs continue to use them for couple of days. In addition use ice pack for 20 minutes thrice daily and I advice limb elevation and crepe bandage for 48 hr At any point of time you notice gross swelling and intolerable pain you can contact me on Practo app immediately for further evaluation and treatment like x ray s to rule out avulsion fractures and crack fractures which are clearly visible on xrays after 48hrs You can contact me on practo app for video chat and examination of ankle for further treatment and management when ever necessary Thank you Dr sethu madhav Orthopaedic surgeon
