Hi! I accidentally dropped my phone on my ankle bone 2 days back and the pain has gotten lil worse over the time. There is no swelling/ numbness/ fatigue. There is little redness but I can wiggle my toes easily and I can walk but it pains if I stand for too long/walk/rotate my ankle. There is sharp pain when touched/pressed. Is it some kind of fracture or soft tissue injury?

Cold compresses can help reduce swelling in the area. Cooling also helps to numb sharp pain. Apply an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, up to five times a day. Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin. Heat therapy heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff area. It can help with muscle pain and bonny pain. Use a heated gel pack, heating pad or a hot water bottle.
