Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Noted the history and understood your concerns. My thoughts and suggestions are as below. The fall and consecutive injury was certainly not heard of but has caused a problem with you.Since the X-rays of knee and ankle are fine nothing much to worry about.
You can do the following in such a situation:
Since the trauma is of soft tissues it is mandatory to take a full rest for proper healing to occur.
Continue the anti-inflammatory medications that you must have been prescribed for.
Take an opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon if needed for any further evaluation, investigations and proper management.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
