Sprained ankle?

I landed badly on my ankle from a height last week and the pain is getting worse. There is no bruising or swelling, just a lot of pain. I can walk but with a limp and swearing!

Google seems to suggest that if it was broken there would be at least some swelling. Been trying to rest it as much as I can and ice but nothing seems to be helping.

Just burst into tears in the supermarket in pain and not sure what else to try? Don't really want to waste anyone's time in A&E to be told it's just a sprain and to get on with it.

Did you get it x-rayed? I'm in a similar situation (not quite that level of pain though)

I did in the end - nothing was broken and was told it was some kind of soft tissue damage or ligaments
