classic bruising of torn ankle ligaments, physio will get you back quicker and leave it stronger. If you don't rehab that well you may always have a slight jelly ankle.
I have done both on different occasions (you climb right? I once did both (mildly) at once falling off a highball bouldering problem). I have also done both of them badly on different occasions. one took 3 months to be able to run on and 1y+ to feel no pain. The other is still a bit weak. I didn't do proper rehab.

On my feet all day, every day since - so it’s holding up in that sense. But definitely won’t be running on it for a while. Just trying to keep myself busy, I get too pissed off if I start to think about healing times too much.
The ankle is still swollen but the colouring has mainly gone. Fuck knows really.
British Fell Relays are on the 20th October at Grassmere, which I’m keen to run in a so it might be a case of very gently going back to running in a couple weeks and doing a shit load of swimming or maybe biking (if the ankle can take it) and a load of core to try and compensate, along with restrengthening exercises.
Tbh, it’s mainly about having some sort of focus to keep me sane and to stop me just trying to go running and reinjuring myself.
