HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem, ankle joint is equally fragile as the knee joint it get fracture even with the small jerk, particularly lateral malleoluse portion so it is better to get done the x-ray, do not take any chance, if it turn negative then the crab bandage alone will give good result but with that bed rest is mandatory for a week, for the pain you can have "Diclofenac 50 mg just once in day, take care and have good day.
I find this answer helpful
