Hurt Ankle

2017-09-08 01:52:41
2 days ago i skipped a step down the stairs and twisted my ankle when i landed on it. it didnt hurt right after. but it started hurting yesterday morning. this morning i woke up and i couldnt move my ankle. it was locked for some reason. it hurts when i walk on it or touch it and it looks a little bit swollen. i have iced it frequently and kept it elevated for a little while. i dont know if i should go to the doctor or hospital or if i should just deal with my pain, or what treatments i can do.
