Painful/ swollen/and bruised ankle 2 weeks after falling over,what damage if any have I done?

Just over 2 weeks ago I fell over!! ( I am 37 yrs old by the way)when i got up my ankle was very painful ( the right foot on the inside edge of my foot and I fell on concrete) it is still very swollen,and painful.Bruising appeared about a week later about 2 inches in diameter, bruising still not gone.I can move my toes and move my foot up and down but very painful when moving the foot sideways? I did elevate it rest it as much as I am able to ( not easy with my life :) didnt get it checked because i didnt want to waste anybodies time (GP or Hospital ) have been walking around/driving since but its still very painful. Does anybody have any ideas what it is? and is it too late for me to get it checked out ? as I dont want to waste anybodies time if its nothing :) and any ideas roughly how long it will proberbly take to heal. Please only sensible answers as I am not stupid but my life is always hectic and child has disabilities so can not always take time off to deal with these things that is why I havent wanted to waste anyones time, or mine if it turns out to be something hardly worth bothering with.
