I really messed up my right ankle a few years ago when I tripped while running and folded it over. I never did see a doctor about it -- like you said: wrap, ice & elevate, and I also tried to walk as little as possible for a couple of weeks. It actually took years to heal to the point where it no longer hurt when I'd step on that foot the wrong way, which probably means that going to the doctor would have been the sensible thing to do. :/
