This needs pro advice rather than internet opinion but don't walk on it now even if you think you can. Ice, foot up, and I imagine ibuprofen if your chemist agrees and rest as much as you can in the early stages and see how it feels tomorrow, then the day after. I think you'll know when it's okay to run on it.
I've had ones that are fine the next day, and others that have been horror shows. It may well feel worse tomorrow in which case it will be more serious.

(not a doctor alert) Like the others have said, RICE and see how it is in a day or so, it could be okay. But if it's not, don't ignore it. My ankle is still pretty fucked from when I sprained it in February (quite a bad sprain but I ignored it as I was on holiday, really stupid in hindsight) and I wish I had sorted out sooner. On the plus side, sales of ibuprofen gel at my local pharmacy have rocketed! Good luck and hope it feels better soon - stay positive!

How's the ankle?
I'm in the same boat, running for me is as much about mental health as physical fitness. I rolled my ankle last year, had my foot in a boot and was absolutely gutted I couldn't run or ride for 6 weeks. I joined a gym and got myself on the rowing machines, which was a lifeline. Would highly recommend, if the news is bad.

Just rolled my ankle, heartbroken as need it to keep me sane and the weight off over Xmas. I know this is a ridiculous question but thoughts on how long until I can get out for a run again, it’s swelled but I can walk on it now without too much pain. It really is a crutch for me at the moment and I will be lost without it.
