Ankle sprain can be very painful. The grade o sprain depends on the force of injury.
If it is not very painful you can try ice pack and a crepe bandage and not do heavy work for a couple of days.
If pain is severe and swelling starts developing then you may need to consult an Orthopaedic.
Next Steps
Ice pack, Crepe bandage, watch out for swelling
