Possible sprained ankle

2017-06-24 10:48:11
I twisted my ankle while playing badminton last night. My foot went sideways and I had a sharp pain which then subsided after a few minutes. I was then able to walk without a problem. However a couple of hours later while walking down stairs I got a severe pain, which has then continued till now, and there is also a swelling on my ankle.
