You need to be evaluated to determine exactly what was injured in the fall. You may need an MRI of your knee/foot and/or x-rays. Only after you get a diagnosis can the correct treatment be recommended. You probably ought to see an orthopedic surgeon to get examined and then the proper tests ordered. So, call for an appointment ASAP. Meanwhile, ice the area. Good luck!
