Hello maam , i understand your concern .
Swelling post ankle or foot twist will take time some time it take few weeks to reduce .
Reason for this is we dont stop walking or puting weight on the foot .we dont give rest to it.
Fracture i wont be able to comment as its not clearly visible xrays apperas dark in photo so difficult but i can appreciate joint line is good. So less likely their will be fracture .
If swelling not reducing in 10 -12 days and still difficultly in walking then you need and MRI OF THE ANKLE JOINT to rule out ligamanent injury . If their is tear in ligament of ankle then management will be different
Next Steps
keep 2 pillow limb elevation foot should be above heart level.
ice application three time per day for 20 minute each time . keep ice in cloth and then apply.
crape bandage is useful if applied properly .
avoid applying tight or very tight ,it will lead to increase swelling and pain disturbed blood supply to foot and toes and creat other prblms
pain and swelling medicine .
