Hello Natasha,
As u told your ankle was already injured and u got it hurted again by applying pressure. Resting the affected foot is the best thing that a person can do. Provide good support to the ankle, and do not move it unnecessarily. To get rid of ankle swelling, keep the leg in an elevated position, especially while sleeping.Try ice therapy along with this..
Hope my info helped u.
