Thought it might

Just taken some Ibuprofen and codeine . . . . peace out man

Go and see a doctor, mate.

I agree with Tosh.  When my own ankle/calf was badly swollen, I only experienced very slight pain for a few hours.  It wasn't a break.  It sounds like you might have a break.

[samson]

xray showed no break, just swollen up a bit, so no problemo copadres

I slipped yesterday while working and my ankle turned outwards, and has swollen and is painful to stand on !     Don't fancy being a bed blocker at caualty, so just taking Ibuprofen, thought about just leaving it a few days and seeing what occurs.
What would be your prefered action plan ?

looks like wfp can be as dangerous as ladders to some people

I used ladders for 25 years, and came of halfa dozen times with various broken bones, so I can live with a sprain 
I was gutter cleaning at the time, and didn't notice the step going down to the patio

You dick.
Rest for a few days. Get swelling down. Keep foot on a stool. MUST be elevated. Put foot in iced water, then hot, then ice. Gets swelling down. Keep taking tablets, even when pains gone. A sprain can  be more pain than a break. If you don't. You will be off months. I badly sprained my ankle drunk,
 while working away. Took 3 years to get better

The job I started on and half finished has cancelled and is refusing to pay cos the job is half done.  tried to explain but they are having none of it

[slap bash]

I have busted both my ankles. Don`t mess around with an injury like that go to A& E asap. It might be a brake or worse a ligament torn or both. Leaving it will not be good thing if it is damaged. Don`t be silly.
