Hello
As you mentioned that your ankle banged , so in my opinion there is no chance of any fracture ( just as it was bang ) .
Now pain and swelling is very common in this type of weight bearing joint.
This swelling and pain may be due to ,
Bursitis or ligament teat , as this is very common in this type of injury .
When such patient visit I prescribe them serratiopeptidase 20 mg twice in day with anti inflammatory ( aceclofenac cr 200 mg) .
As these are prescription medicine so take prescription from a doctor .
Rest ( immobilization ) and ice pack also help .
Still pain persist more than 5 days then consult an orthopedic surgeon and get his opinion.
Good luck.
