welcome at HCM
i have gone through ur case and being ur physcian i completely understands ur health concerns
All u need now is to take rest and immobilize the ankle joint use ankle brace . Do regular icing and get some painkillers like acetaminophin or ibuprofen..
swelling will take time to heal atleast two weeks. you should get an x ray and meet orthopedic surgeon but soft tissue injury dont come up in X ray.
stay safe and get well soon
