Hi you had an injury in your (R) ankle and shin . While ankle has improved , shin is painful and ankle movements cause pain in the shin. I would diagnose it as a bone bruise and advice pain killers, local heat + support with crepe bandage. It might take 2-3 weeks for the pain to subside and further 3 weeks to fully recover.
