Suggest Treatment For Severe Ankle Pain

I was walking down the stairs until I missed a step and my foot turned to the left. I didn t hear and pop but, I felt a sharp pain unable to walk. I feel a pain just above the knuckle of my ankle. I ve been putting ice on it and I put a wrap over my ankle. Is there any idea of what this is? Thank you.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
Thanks for the query through health care magic .
I understand your concern.
The ankle injury can be in form of strain,/ sprain of the ligaments, muscle tendons, or bones involved in ankle joint.
Rest to the part, Ice pack & anti inflammatory pill over the counter can be taken For home management.
I would advise to get physically examined by your family physician. X ray of the ankle may be advised to exclude bone injury in form of fracture.
Treatment would depend on the severity of injury.
thanks.
