Last week I was walking up metal stairs and I fell and hit my leg on the steps about three inches above my ankle. Now it s bruised and my ankle is swollen but I didn t injury my ankle. Do think I broke something and don t know it. It doesn t hurt to walk but I can feel my ankle to start to swell.
Hello, An X-ray is advised. Stabilize the ankle joint. Do hot water fermentation. Keep the leg elevated. Do simple ankle toe movements post 7-10 days. You should be fine. The swelling is a protective mechanism of the cells to fight against the Injury happening.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
