Foot pain: The area you describe is the area under your fibula and on the side of your foot. The structures that can get injured are the ligament that connects your lateral ankle to your foot, fibularis longus tendon that runs lateral to fibula and to your foot. Other possibilities would be fibula fracture or Jones fracture of proximal metatarsal. If you are unable to stand on you should be seen.
