Help! Do I need an X-ray?

I turned my ankle a few hours ago. If I lift my toes I can hobble but trying to move much more than that is very painful. I think it's just a sprain but would appreciate some reassurance!

I've attached photos - unfortunately I have fat ankles anyway so it's a bit hard to show swelling.

Try RICE first, if no improvement then A&E/ minor injury unit. It does look swollen.

Thank. Been doing RICE (well RCE) for a few hours now it definitely swollen. But it would be with a sprain too wouldnt it? No minor injuries here and I don't want to waste A&E time if I can avoid it.

No break. Smile just a damaged ligament. Many thanks for your help.
