put an elastic ankle brace on drjaysrelief.com if it still hurts get an xray
Without treating you it is hard to say. You can get away with cycling or swimming but I would not run without protection. This is all guessing because no clinical exam has been undertaken by me.
I wouldn't recommend exercising with an ankle sprain until its been evaluated by your local podiatrist or orthopedic physician. You could make your ankle sprain worse that could have long term effect on your ankle.
You should not until it heals, upper body only
We recommend 6-8 weeks of therapy before exercising.
