glass bottle hit outside bone of ankle, just a bruise or something more serious?

so yesterday i was taking the trash out at work and for some reason there was a glass bottle in the bottom (pretty sure one of those Starbucks frappuccino to go glasses). the bag was heavy so i was swinging it to get some momentum to throw it into the bin, but on one of the swings it slammed into the outside bone of my left ankle. it hurt instantly, but nothing weird or too painful when i walked but then a few mins later i was walking back inside and i noticed that with each step i took i got a sharp stabbing pain in my ankle and it just felt really weird hurt. since then, it hasnt stopped hurting and it has gotten to a constant ache, with the sharp pain coming when i move it or walk. its really bruised, swollen, and i have a limited range of motion especially when i flex it but my ankle also feels tight or like blocked when i move it too. im hoping its just a bone bruise but with the amount it hurts i am a little concerned and just want to see if i should go to the doctor soonish or just wait it out for a few days to see how it feels/progresses
