When you say bone, do you mean the round ball on the inner foot? That is the end of the fibula and can appear to be big because of swelling. If that is not it then which one?

Many ankle injuries involve the fibula usually from turning the foot inward. If that is the bone then ice for 30 minutes while elevated and then get an ankle wrap and try to wrap it yourself. Compression good to prevent swelling from all over. Continue to walk on the ankle unless you cannot. Walking on the ankle is a good thing and you will be able to prevent anymore swelling with weight bearing and the motion is "lotion" for your ankle and keeping it well lubricated on the inside as well as dissapate swelling from your ankle to other parts of your body. Lay down and cross the bad ankle over your opposite knee to create elevation and picture your big toe as a pen and perform ankle alphabet exercises by moving your ankle around to draw the letters in the air. This is a good exercise to keep your ankle mobile sense immobilization is bad and will only make matters worse. Do this a couple of times a day followed by ice. Keep doing this until you are able to walk normal again.
