The symptoms of a sprained ankle vary depending on the severity of the injury. They may include:

Pain, especially when you bear weight on the affected foot
Tenderness when you touch the ankle
Swelling
Bruising
Restricted range of motion
Inability to put weight on the affected ankle
Skin discoloration
Stiffness
A sprain occurs when your ankle is forced to move out of its normal position, which can cause one or more of the ankle’s ligaments to stretch, partially tear or tear completely. Causes of a sprained ankle might include:

Falling on your ankle causing it to twist
Jumping awkwardly and landing on your foot
Walking or exercising on an uneven surface
An accident during sports
If you have any of these symptoms or causes, you may have a sprained ankle. However, the only way to confirm the diagnosis is to see a doctor who can examine your ankle and perform some tests.
