You should see your doctor after an ankle sprain if you notice any of the following: 1  You heard a popping sound at the time you sprained your ankle. 2  You have moderate pain or severe swelling or bruising around your ankle. 3  You can't walk or put weight on your affected foot, or your ankle feels unstable.
With most sprains, you feel pain right away at the site of the tear. Often the ankle starts to swell immediately and may bruise. The ankle area is usually tender to touch, and it hurts to move it. In more severe sprains, you may hear and/or feel something tear, along with a pop or snap. You will probably have extreme pain at first and will not be able to walk or even put weight on your foot. Usually, the more pain and swelling you have, the more severe your ankle sprain is and the longer it will take to heal. How is an ankle sprain diagnosed? Your doctor will ask you how the injury occurred and if you have hurt your ankle before. He or she will check your foot and ankle, your lower leg, and even your knee to see if you are hurt anywhere else. If the sprain is mild, your doctor may not order X-rays.
