Good Guess: Anything is possible. Your ankle needs to evaluated both physically and with imagery. See a professional.

Yes: An ultrasound would show any ligament tear or rupture. MRI would show a talar dome injury. Start with an x-ray and evaluation by a Podiatrist. Ice will help with swelling and an ankle brace will help with stability
