Yes, : Yes, that could definitely sprain your ankle. If you have swelling or persistent pain though be sure to be seen for an x-ray to be sure it isn't broken (fractured).

It is possible.: Depending on the amount of pressure it is possible to develop a soft tissue injury by placing sustained pressure onto an area.
