When an ankle is injured the first biological response is for the affected joint to begin to swell. This is the body's way of protecting itself. The first recommendation is to ice down the joint. You may secure a prepared icepack or make one yourself with zip-lock bag and several ice cubes. Next wrap the icepack to the joint with an ace bandage and elevate the foot for relief.
You most likely have a sprained ankle if you are feeling pain when you put your weight onto the ankle. You could also have a fracture in the bone so it is best to seek medical attention to get an x-ray.
He twisted his ankle
it recieves the weight from the whole body along with the tibia...and reduces the weight on the ankles and feet..so it has alot to do with the ankle..if the ankle is injured then the ankle would have trouble with this weight hence creating pain
The only way you can tell if you have sprained an ankle is to go to the emergency room and see a doctor. I would stay off the injured ankle until you find out the results.

To properly splint an ankle for optimal support and stability, follow these steps: Gently straighten the injured ankle and foot. Place a padded splint along the inside of the ankle, from the calf to the foot. Secure the splint in place with bandages or tape, making sure it is snug but not too tight. Elevate the injured ankle to reduce swelling. Seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
A sprained ankle typically involves damage to the ligaments surrounding the ankle joint rather than a specific bone. However, in some cases, a sprained ankle can also involve a fracture in one of the ankle bones.
Ice is the best thing for minor ankle pain. If the pain continues or gets worse, you should get an x-ray to see if you broke any bones. You also might want to look into a new pair of shoes to support your ankles better.
