Ankle Twist
I want to know within how many days I would walk normal again. I got an injury two days back, I did the X ray but no fracture is seen. Still I have a little pain in my ankle area.

In case of ankle there are many ligament (rope like materials that keep ankle stable) structures get damaged in case of twisting injury. Usually it takes at least 3 to 6 weeks to fully heal. So it's better to avoid walking or excessive weight bearing on that leg for that period
Next Steps
If the pain is serious, I advise you to get an MRI scan, it can show ligaments also. Keep leg elevated on a pillow or another chair. Apply ice, don't put any ointment or Zandu balm etc over the area
