While coming back via staira to my floor, suddenly my ankle got twisted and got ankle sprain. Initial stage there was lot of swelling in ankle area and it was difficult to walk also. But later on swelling reduced but still i was not able to walk normally. After 4-5 days also, when my swelling didnt reduce so i went to Dr for his opinion. He told to use ice packs multiple times to that area and be rested as much as possible and if still swelling not reduced then go for x-ray. He also told that sometimes ankle sprain take 3-4 weeks also. So, give some time. Already 1 week is over but my ankle is still not recovered.Lets see what will happen ...

Are you using something to immobilise it? I think you should. Just to be on the safe side.

If you can walk at least you know it^s not broken. It takes several weeks to heal, but remember the ice packs.

@saurabhrmp I have sprained my ankle 3 times when I was younger, it took me about two weeks to feel completely better.

Hope for the best. Apply ice for 15-20 minutes. Use some pain relief gel. Or go for X-ray today .
