Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi you have twisted your ankle and are in pain. Yes , I think you have probably injured your ankle ligament on lateral side. The treatment involves , Local Ice + painkillers + Splintage. If swelling is much then it is better to go for cast immobilization. It will take time 3-4 weeks to heal and you have to avoid injuring the ligaments again in this period.
