Hi, You seem to have a sprained ankle possibly a high ankle sprain in which the ligaments connecting the two bones of the foot is sprained or torn.A routine X ray should be done. This will need a cast for about 4 weeks and a good amount of physiotherapy after that. You could also use an air cast or walking brace in place of the cast
