Springer Ankle

2021-04-22 12:22:28
I heard a pop sound when I twisted my ankle while doing some work. The Ground was uneven and I think I twisted while I was stretching for a pipe. There was a light swelling near the Ankle bone immediately with pain.The pain while walking not completely unbearable and I can walk limping. I have pain from ankle upwards when moving the leg  (5-6 inches ). I cannot rotate my legs completely without pain but my fingers on legs are moving . Main area of pain is near ankle and upwards. How bad is the situation and do I need surgery for this? Swelling is primarily around the ankle bone .
