Rest ice and compression
If your ankle is truly dislocated, you will need to see a specialist and possibly need immobilization or surgery
This should be relocated as soon as possible. I recommend you see a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation and further treatment options
I'd recommend an xray by your pcp or local urgent care. I also advocate physical therapy by a therapist. Ankles are a very complex weight bearing joint.
mmediate treatment for ankle dislocation includes immobilization, ice therapy, and elevation to reduce swelling and pain. Seek prompt medical attention for proper evaluation and possible reduction of the dislocation. Afterward, rehabilitation with physical therapy can aid in restoring strength, stability, and range of motion in the ankle.
Keep the leg elevated above chest high. With ice. If the swelling doesn't go down in two days please go to the nearest er for an x-ray to make sure no broken bone.
You need to see an orthopedic surgeon, may need splint or cast to manage it. You should go really soon. Urgent care or worst case, Emergency department also take care of this Regards, Tanvi.
