Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome at HCM.

If your ankle is still swollen then this can be due to either ligament or cartilage or even bone injury to your ankle bone.I will advice you to at least have a x ray or for better identification of injury you should have MRI of ankle.

Hope this will help you.
