Hello,
I have studied your case and i think that you might have fractured your ankle bone. I would suggest you to go to orthopaedic doctor as soon as possible and get it x rayed. if there is any fracture seen then it is better to get it plastered . Do not massage this ankle or keep it in hanging position as this can cause more swelling and blister can also arise.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Le me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
