Pain side of ankle: Ankle sprain is where u have injured the ligaments that hold your ankle together. Most common ligaments injured are the ones on the outer side of your ankle (laterally). It will hurt to touch initially and be swollen to varying degrees and if severe may be associated with a sensation of instability. Ankle fractures have many of the same symptoms. See a doc and get evaluated may need x-ray

Likely: Falls off platform shoes can result in injuries to several structures in the foot and ankles. Change shoes and see your doctor.
