Serious pain: Should be addressed as soon as possible. Get it checked.

Severe ankle pain: The outer bone could be a contusion, stress fracture, or chip fracture. It sounds like you'll need imaging to determine if there is other pathology and i agree with previous posts, to elevate, use ice and more ice, compression wrapping with possible bracing in the area and antiinflammatory medication before seeing a doctor. Hope this helps.
