Hi. Your xray doesn't seem to show a fracture. But you may have torn your ligaments while twisting the ankle.
This will take 2 weeks for the pain to go and 2 months to heal properly.
Protect your ankle from twisting again by using ankle binder/brace. And use heat packs now instead of ice and apply diclofenac gel twice a day.
Don't worry about the red bruise it's the blood inside which had leaked when your injury happened. It changes colour during recovery.
