Suggest Treatment Options For Ankle Sprain

Hello I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago and it s still badly swollen and of course bruised. I had it x rayed but I m seeing no improvements... I have like a golf ball or bigger on my ankle and walking is pretty painful...do I just need to rest more or did the hospital miss something?

you likely ruptured your ankle ligaments and possibly injured your Peroneal tendon as well. you should get an MRI for confirmation. for now rest, compression, ice, anti inflammatories.
