Running with a broken ankle?

I twisted my ankle really badly yesterday, but I was still able to walk despite the pain.
Since the foot immediately turned blue and swelled slightly above the ankle, I treated it with ointment and a support bandage and cooled it.
Today I was able to walk relatively well all day, but it was also extremely painful.

I can move my foot completely and walk normally, it just hurts a lot.
Now after about an hour of walking today, the foot is even more swollen, the hematoma is larger and darker, and the foot hurts more.

Maybe I should have taken more care of myself.

Since I don't like going to the doctor and don't want to hold up the emergency room with such minor ailments, I just wanted to ask about experiences here.

Would it theoretically be possible that the foot is broken or a ligament is torn despite possible movement?

Were you still able to walk with such an injury?

I've had a sprained ligament before.
Ointment bandages and rest were enough there, so I thought I would do the same here, as I initially assumed it was another strain.

But if this were to be something worse, we would probably have to act differently and do more, hence my question.

I realize no one here can give me a diagnosis, but experience would be a starting point. Because if you can never walk with such serious injuries, then it's definitely out of the question and more likely just another strain.
However, if you can still walk with it sometimes, I would of course still go to the doctor on Monday.

So: Were you still able to walk with a torn ligament or a broken (upper) ankle?

By the way, this is the outer ankle joint.

The Wayne Rooney once played a half with a broken foot, it’s not healthy. One from the place has died after an unrivalled break due to a rare sepsis by bacterium. So swing the hoove, haha, at the latest by the mo to the accident doctor.

Hmmm, I can’t say that, unfortunately, because I’m not right in front of you, but it sounds bad for me and you could run at the beginning?
