General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having sprain on ankle.
There are all chances of having fracture of lower end of Fibula as it is quite thin and weak bone.
Go for x-ray lower end of fibula with ankle joint.
Apply ice pack for few days.
Ok and take care.
