Banged the ankle onto the heavyweight rod . Kept ice immediately. But there's pain and swelling now. Could it be a fracture? Wt first aid can be given immediately?

Ice fomentation and Limb elevation will be the first aid I'd do first. With pain and swelling a ligament injury or fracture is likely. So I would suggest that you see an orthopedic surgeon preferably someone who specializes in foot and ankle and get X Rays done post consultation. Avoid weight bearing bearing on the affected ankle till then.
