I fell now i'm feelingburning sensation from the bottom of my ankle midway up to the side of my leg and its puffy a little bruised not a lot though?

Sprained Ankle: Sounds like you sprained your ankle a little bit. Its typical to have some bruising and referred pain. Ice, ibuprofen or naproxen will help. Keep walking on it as tolerated. It should get better on its own in a couple of weeks.
