A broken ankle or fractured ankle will be very very painful and swollen, regardless of which bone breaks (fibia or tibia), the front or the side of the ankle. A sprained ankle will be quite painful as well depending on the degree of the sprain. A bad sprain will be swollen and wont be able to be too mobile, if at all. A minor sprain may hurt for a few days then after about a week will start to feel better. Minor sprains are best healed when you are not active on it for a few days and ice it frequently.

A sprained ankle is while the ligaments interior the leg are stretched or torn, and a broken ankle is, of course, while the bone is broken or fractured. Sprains and fractures are a sprint annoying to tell aside, yet while it swelled up quite speedy, it somewhat is extra probably a fracture than a sprain.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

With a sprained ankle, there is acute pain especially with movement, swelling and if it's severe meaning if the ligaments on the outer side of your ankle which is commonly sprained are totally torn, you will have a very difficult time putting weight on that affected foot causing inability to walk and you will need to go to the doctor for treatment and possibly physical therapy. With a broken ankle, bones are involved. It is uncomon but it happens with severe trauma to foot. With this one you will also need to go to the doctor for your foot/ankle to be casted.

swelling, pain, if it's broken you likely can't move it very well. If you're in doubt go to the hospital for xrays. If it heals wrong you'll have to get surgery to fix it.
