What Causes Pain In The Leg, Difficulty In Walking After Being Kicked?

Hi my name is Alexis Coyle, my girlfriend recently got kicked on the side of her leg right above her ankle and is having trouble walking now. She is walking with a limp and seems to be in a lot of pain. I was just wondering what could be the issue and if it can be resolved without medical attention.
