Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Ankle and foot pain: Yes a fracture is possible. Particular concern would be the beginning of your little toe metatarsal bone. May also have a sprain of a ligament of the foot.

See podiatrist: Or orthopod. Ice and elevate and take antiinflammatories until you get a visit. Likely x-rays need to be taken at minimum.
