My advice as a massage therapist would be to prop her leg up and put an ice pack on the ankle. Walking on it can irritate it and cause to take longer to heal. It will also make it feel worse and may swell more. Also take 2 Advil or Motrin as they are anti inflammatory drugs.

I just fell off your bike and it landed on your ankle did i sprain it or what?

If you fell off the bike and your ankle is painful, swollen, or bruised, you may have sprained it or possibly injured it in another way. A sprain typically involves stretching or tearing of ligaments around the joint. It's best to rest, ice the area, and elevate your ankle. If the pain persists or you have difficulty walking, consider seeing a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation.

Possibly a sprained ankle or a fractured ankle. It all depends on what has happened to the bones in the ankle.
