So, I was playing badminton yesterday and ended up twisting my ankle at a weird angle, and now it's pretty swollen. It's not hurting too much, but the swelling is definitely noticeable. What should I do to take care of it? I'm not sure if it's serious enough to see a doctor. Do you think I really need to get it checked out?
