    Its unlikely to be broken as you can walk on it try the RICE protocol R=REST I= ICE C=COMPRESSION E=ELEVATION give it 48 hours if no better see a doctor

    A sprained ankle hurts! They usually bruise too. The best thing is ice it immediately and later use heat but you must start to walk on it soon because that is physical therapy and is needed to get it working again.

    if it was broken you would know it. You would not be able to walk on it without excruciating pain. But you should still go get it checked out.

    No it isn't broken. If it was broken you couldn't walk and you would shout in pain

    It is just injured. Go to doctor
