### Human:\nare my ankles fractured or sprained. 10 yrs ago i broke my right ankle & required plates/pins/screws. yesterday i fell & the step hit the front of both ankles. both ankles were swelling cold & numb. i put my feet up & iced them. today my left ankle does not have full rotation but can walk a little 4 a short period of time. my right ankle is still in extreme pain & i cannot put much weight on it. i cannot move this foot side to side or up. is this foot re-broken or just bruised? is my left ankle just bruised or fractured?\n\n### Assistant: not unless you have an x-ray machine lying around your home the only way you can know if your ankle is fractured is to have your doctor order some ankle films.
