I wouldn't of stepped out of the pc holding packages. I would of set them down in the cab faced the bulk head door closing it within my power zone. I would of then got a firm grip on the hand rail while looking before stepping out of the package car. If something still happened and I rolled an ankle I would of called it in and had them take me off route so I could get medical attention.

Oh I just see people crap all over the ground and assumed. I don't blame you taking the easy way out and working through it though. This company has an unspoken agreement with its workers about reporting
And if it is something serious?
Are you a doctor ?

Maybe you should take him for a ride on your quad?

I rolled an ankle once in PC. Well, I changed my routine getting on and off to favor my hurt ankle. I never thought much about it but I always step in and out using the same foot forward. That day I changed it and it was awkward. I'll be danged if I didn't roll the other ankle about an hour later. Was really gimpin' along rest of day. To answer the OP's original question, like someone said earlier, I'd mention it to management when I got in, just in case it swells up on you that night or next week even. That way they can't accuse you of doing it off the job.

step out the pc.. Sprain(rolled?) the CRAP out of my ankle. I thought I broke it. I had to sit down in my pc and put water on my head it really shook me for some reason. But I took a little break and the pain went down a little.

I did the same thing over a month ago stepping backwards out of my truck. Rolled my ankle, landed on my butt and hit my head. I probably should have gotten an X-ray because I think I cracked something on the inside of my heel. Too late now. The pain will eventually go away.

Their investigation will be gettin overtime for reviewing on computer and paper work. I got nipped by a small dog when I was new reported it and they got sour but I insisted. I don't know if that dog has some bird flu
I need a doctor to check it out it broke the skin.If it ain't broke you can't do any additional damage as long as you don't roll it again. I did the same, felt it for 6 months until pain totally went away.2:45

That was fortunate timing for a vacation also good that you were not injured so soon in career you'll be using that ankle for a long time.
