Need an exam: It is unlikely that you fractured your ankle, however given your history it can’t be ruled out! I would see your Dr and get a thorough exam - probably an X-ray if it is not clear what the cause of the pain could be. In the mean time try not to bear wt on the ankle and behave as if it “is “ fractured! I hope it’s not broken!
