Based on the X-ray you shared, there is no obvious fracture, which suggests a ligament sprain due to ankle twisting. Swelling and pain are common after such injuries and usually settle with proper care. For now, rest the ankle, avoid weight-bearing, keep the leg elevated, and apply ice 3â4 times a day for swelling. A crepe bandage or ankle brace can provide support while walking. If pain or swelling does not improve in 5â7 days, or if you are unable to bear weight, a clinical review (and sometimes MRI) may be needed to rule out ligament tears.
