Suggest Treatment For Severe Ankle Pain

I fell down the back stairs to my garage and rolled my ankle.I can walk on it but have really bad pain when I move my foot up and down and side to side. It also pops when I try to point my toe. Is there a possibility it is broken,fractured our just a bad sprain? Thanks!

Let us be optimistic and say its a bad sprain. a fracture can only be confirmed with a radio-graph.hot and cold fomentation should give you symptomatic relief.

1. How long was it since u had that fall
2. Is there any associated swelling
3. are u able to move your toe
