Hello,
I have studied your case. I think you might be having soft tissue injury in ankle. There is also chances of hair line fracture. I would recommend you to get x ray of the ankle joint to confirm the diagnosis. If there is fracture or ligament injury then you will need splinting of the ankle.
I would also suggest you to apply ice over the ankle and volini ointment local application. Do not keep in hanging or dependent.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
