    Shoot, almost the exact same thing happened to me yesterday. I twisted my ankle on a hike and had to limp 2 miles back home. We're troopers👊👊BUT I thought it was a sprain but it turns out I broke my ankle (fibula) and am now in a fiberglass cast and on crutches for 7 weeks😢. My symptoms were the SAME as yours, except no heat but lots of bruising. So my guess is that you broke your ankle as well. Ice and elevate, take pain meds, have someone drive you to the hospital in the morning but DO NOT PUT ANYMORE WEIGHT ON YOUR ANKLE. My hike back (even though it was very slow as well) made my break worse. I know it hurts like a b*tch now but the pain will get a little better with time. Good luck and hope you feel better!!

    You might have broken it! One time I broke my wrist and I felt that exact same way. Then again, I wouldn't know, I'm not a doctor. Hope you get better.
