Bone marrow edema...

Marrow is not a like tendon, ligament, or muscle tissue and is not likely to swell as such, however a traumatic injury with enough will cause a"Bleed"/ bruise in the bone. Much like a shin split where the Connective tissue is inflamed the pain is terrible. Tendon inflammation will cause tendon swelling which in turn will increase pressures on the bone in that area and helped with a heavy step on an uneven surface could likely cause the bone to bruise.
General rule in ICE, Ice, Baby, and elevate and decrease usage. Lots of reps of the ankle without resistance will help move the fluids out of the area.
as mentioned above Motrine. Good luck, hope you can get it fixed before you really need it.
