Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it can cause injury to the soft tissues of the ankles or foot.
The soft tissues include the muscles, tendons,ligaments and surrounding tissues. A sprain is essentially injury to the soft tissue.
Injury to any of these tissues, however is normally associated with symptoms such as pain, tenderness, swelling.
If you are not currently experiencing symptoms then it is unlikely that any injury occurred.
If any symptoms do occur then the use of anti inflammatory pain medications and resting the area would be important.
Examples of anti inflammatory pain medications are ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen. One of these can be used, they are available over the counter.
Resting the leg and the application of cold compress would also help if pain/swelling occurs.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

I have no swelling or redness or pain
Brief Answer:
that's good

That is good. That means that no injury appears to be present.
In some cases, symptoms start 2 to 3 days after the initial injury so you can watch to see if any occur.
