Hi all,

Was playing in a football match and out of nowhere two footed tackle straight into my left ankle and rolled it and fell on it. Extreme pain when I did it however I can walk on it with some nerve pain here and there. Went to minor injury unit and they said it was just sprained and didn't x ray but I keep getting nerve pain/extreme swelling on the ankle.

Should I go back and ask for X-ray?

Here it was a few hours after I did it: image
