Ankle pain after falling! Help!!!!!!?

Question

I fell from a high area flat onto my feet and the outer side of my right ankle hurts so bad! It didn't hurt that day at all but it is day 2 and hurts so bad now! No bruising or swelling but just a lot of pain! Can't point my foot but can flex, can walk, and can move toes! Doesn't hurt to touch! I am so confused what it this? It isn't my achilles its like next to my achilles!!

Susie is right, you need an x ray. You could have a hairline fracture. 
Do you have crutches? 
Keep it elevated. Use ice for 20 minutes every few hours. 
Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aleve for pain. 
Go to a Dr ASAP

You have strained or sprained it.  Expect it to be sore for a week, at least.  In the meantime, stay off it as much as you can, but not completely.  You do need to keep it mobile by moving it.

It’s probably a sprain, but should get it x-rayed to make sure it’s not broken.
