Pain: As i mentioned earlier. You can have a great deal of pain you should visit the er for xrays to rule out a fracture. Even if you don't have a fracture they may want to cast it or give you a boot to wear to relieve your pain. Don't tarry.

May Have: Fracture if you are in that much pain. Get to er and have at least a x-ray taken. You could also torn ligaments which add to pain.
