Lots of Ankle Issues?

Question

I've sprained my ankle about 14 times now, my recent sprain was yesterday from dancing, I landed on it full out angle of my foot. This is the worst sprain in my life. Pain, swelling, etc.
Problem is...I think it's broken? I don't really wanna get an X-Ray done cause it takes too much time. Every time I walk I get pain through my ankle, but today it's a little better, however the swelling doesn't seem to go down that much even if I ice it a lot. About 3-4 sprains ago I noticed my right ankle is impermanently 3-5x bigger then my left since I sprain it so much. I don't know if it's broken or sprained this time?

-The area between my shin and toes is a little swollen too
-My swollen ankle barely go's down from ice, or doesn't even.
-I have some black/purple bruising on my ankle
-Sprained it 14x (Including this one if it's a sprain.)
-Right ankle is permanently bigger then left 3-5x bigger
-Twisted left ankle once.

Answer 1

Get an X-ray done, even though it takes too much time.

Get someone to check out your aggregate leg length. If you sprain your ankle seriously enough, you can flatten the arch of your foot, which shortens the aggregate leg length. For me, this caused a leg-length inequality, which meant a lot of weight and pressure was going to one vertebra in my lower back.
