Hello,

You may have not broken any bone. But for a safer side, an x-ray is good. Using crepe bandage or immobilizing the part in ankle brace or stocking will help. Do hot water fermentation and keep it elevated. If it's a fracture you will get to know in 3 days of time. But usually, it never fractures so easily as lower limb muscles are too strong.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
