I'm sorry to hear about your ankle pain after your fall. It’s common to experience pain and difficulty walking if the ankle is twisted or injured. This could be a sprain, which means the ligaments around the ankle might be stretched or torn, but it’s important to rule out a fracture or more serious injury.

Here are some steps you can take right now:

• Rest the ankle and avoid putting weight on it.
• Ice the area for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours to reduce swelling.
• Compress the ankle with an elastic bandage to provide support.
• Elevate your ankle above heart level when possible to decrease swelling.

If you notice severe pain, inability to walk, significant swelling, bruising, or deformity, it’s important to see an orthopedic specialist promptly for a thorough evaluation and possibly imaging like an X-ray.

Please consider consulting an orthopedic doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your injury. If the pain worsens or you experience numbness, tingling, or severe swelling, seek emergency care immediately.
