You need to get to an orthopedic surgeon. My wife did almost the exact same thing and twisted her ankle at the drop of a hat.

She ended up getting the tendons in her ankles stapled. 30+ years later and her ankles are still as stable as anyone's.

Herbal remedies will not reattach torn tendons.

Damn I could use that.....mine are like that

Once you tear and sprain bad it gets to where you sprain much easier but heal much faster

Was it that way for her

I sprained and tore mine in a series of bad eggplant swollen sprains in the early 70s

With knots up above my ankle where tendons and ligaments curled back up

I was walking in the hills off Hwy 7 north of Columbia near Santa Fe TN

My ankle snapped bad to one side while in my crocs...I thought damn

But it was just sensitive for a while

That level of ankle bend in my teens and I woulda been down for the count
And miles in the woods
No phone reception and low teens at night

I always forward my location to my family before though....so I’m not coyote food
