Hi

Tendon damage or bone fracture is likely to have ocurred based on your symptoms.I would suggest you to immediately visit your doctor to rule out any fracture or tendonitis. X-ray of the affected ankle is essential. Immobilisation of the joint with cast or crepe bandage may be required along with pain killers.You may need to take rest for a few weeks for the inflammation or fracture to heal.High protein diet is also recommended.


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