Is my ankle broken, fractured or sprain?
I’m 20 years old and yesterday i got in a fight with my brother, after the incident I went out for a walk to cool off, on the way back I started feeling pain in my ankle (I assume it’s after the adrenaline started wearing off) and upon getting home I couldn’t stand on my leg, I don’t know if I have fractured, sprained or broke my ankle, I have swelling on both sides of the ankle and have been using the RICE technique all day today but the swelling had not changed, what should I do ?

Ankle sprains are fairly common due to twisting injuries. X rays are required to rule out any fractures.
