If you've already been seen by a physician, you are probably experiencing a reduced circulation to your toes because the inflammation is compressing blood vessels. The advice they should have give you: RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation. Wrap an elastic bandage only moderately tight (don't cut off circulation, it doesn't need to be tight) around the foot for 1-2 hr intervals and unwrap for 15-20 minutes, repeat. Ice packs for the first 24 hours. Elevate the foot on the arm of a couch. After 24 hours, the ice pack and elastic bandage wont be of much benefit.

Why does my sprained ankle have a lot of swelling but not a lot of pain?
If you have sprained your ankle previously you may have already completely ruptured the ligament (ATF ligament, likely). Subsequent experiences of rolling your ankle may result in rupturing blood vessels (leading to swelling/bruising) but little pain because there is no ligament left to actually sprain. That, and you are likely quite lax in the ankle joint, meaning it happens easily.

If your ankle is swollen slightly then you should not have to convince your father that you have sprained your ankle.
