I was walking down a steep sandstone sidehill that I’ve hiked a bunch of times. Usually I wear my higher top hiking boots but I had tennis shoes this time. I broke traction and had to take a couple of big steps and rolled the right ankle which put all my weight on the left ankle which also rolled. Then I tumbled about ten feet. The worst part was the 1.5 mile walk back to the trailhead on uneven terrain.

It looks like a typical inversion ankle sprain. If you do choose to wear a brace, make sure it is designed for such a sprain and NOT for an eversion ankle sprain.

I know it's old school.
But back when I played ball with my crooked ankle it rolled all the time.
5 gal bucket, half water, half ice. Keep it there until hyperthermia sets in(old school coach).
But generally after couple day the swelling was gone. Then tape it up.
Sucks man, good luck

Damn, reminds me of my basketball playing sprained ankles.
Give it a couple days, you'll be fine.

Ouch! I hope you are back in the hills soon! If you do hike, take off your boots and set them in the cold creek for a while. I’ve been scouting solid rock the past few weeks in mtn goat country and you wouldn’t believe how cold water on the feet and ankles helps. Ice and cold packs may also be your best friend.
