I could not walk on my ankle, I couldn't even bend it. As my GP was not on a bus route I went to A&E where the doctor told me I wasn't trying to bend it.
A year later I had to have it operated on to fix a problem that would not have occured had it been immobilised when I visited.
It turned out I had torn my achilles!
