5th metatarsal pain: Sounds like you have experienced a sprain from your fall. It is not uncommon to develop what is known as "avulsion fractured" of the 5th metatarsal after an ankle sprain. I recommend seeing a Podiatrist for a X-Ray. Until then stay off your foot and ice the area 3 times a day for 15 minutes.
