Is Pain In Ankle While Walking Post A Fall A Cause For Concern?

I was playing outside today and was on top of the monkey bars. I was sitting up there with my friends and jumped from the wooden edge to the soft mulch on the ground. When I landed, I felt pain in my ankle. When I walk it hurts and I feel pain when I put pressure on it. Is this anything serious?

Hello dear user, thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic and sharing your concerns, I thought due to trauma you got a joint or muscles distended , if you can walk, move your feet in different angles and tolerate the pain probably you don't have any fracture, I advice you to take anti-inflammatory/pain killers meds like ibuprofen 2-3 times a day x10 days and vitamins supplements(B) apply ice-bad 3 times a day x 20-30 minutes the first 2 days to minimize some internal bleeding a gentle massage with ice/hot gel/cream 3 times a day help you relieve the pain
I recommend you limit your movements wearing a brace, use a comfortable shoes with silicone support, avoid the longstanding periods, if the symptoms still persist after 10-15 days a doctor should be consulted. Take care
Please kindly rate if my advise has been helpful
Wishing you a good health
