Sprained ankle - no progress in a week

Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

I sprained my ankle but it hasn't made any progress in the last week. I was confined to crutches for 5 days. I still walked the day of, but after work there was a lot of swelling (but no bruising) and after elevating it for an hour, I could not stand on it and it was so painful that I was on the brink of tears at the slightest jostling.
