Sprained Ankle?

Question

Sprained Ankle?

Asked for Female, 16 Years

I twisted my ankle a few days ago and then accidentally dropped a textbook on my foot yesterday. My foot has a constant pulsing feeling and is becoming more painful each day. My mom told me to wrap it but I can barely touch it or move it without being in pain. I keep walking on it hoping it will go away but it keeps getting worse. Theres no sign of swelling or bruising so I think that indicates a sprain. Should I go to a doctor or leave it alone?
