Ankle pain: Consider sprain, strain, overuse, bone bruise, or fracture. Get it checked with X-rays if not improved with rest, ice, & elevation.

Have it checked: Get checked by the doc and examined. An xray would be beneficial for complete eval. There are different degrees and types of ankle sprains...Sometimes there can be a fracture. You don't want to injure yourself more. Get checked.
