See doctor: It would be prudent to see a doctor to ascertain if you need an x-ray. You will need a doctor's order for x-ray anyway. You may take acetaminophen for pain, no more than 4 g/day and no alcohol. Wish you good health!

Variety of issues: Since you could have a small stress fracture, an ankle strain/ sprain, an Achilles tendon rupture, etc.; worthwhile for you to visit your physician and get this examined. An X-ray may be helpful. You might consider a boot support and crutches for work.
