Suggest Remedies For Extreme Pain In Ankle Post An Injury

I fell off a ladder yesterday and when i fell the ladder folded up and closed on my ankle, it bruised right about but after icing the bruise has faded. Yesterday and the day went on it became more painful to walk and today it seems near impossible due to pain. There is barely any swelling or bruising on my ankle now.. Should i just ice and elevate it or do i need to see a doctor?

Hello,

I suggest to use ice pack elevate rest and use ibuprofen! If you can't walk I suggest to make X ray and consult with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
