you might have tendonitis. i have it and it sucks. BIG time. if it hurts when you push on it, and continues to hurt for several weeks, see a doctor.
for now, ice it for 20 minutes, then rest an hour. then ice for 20 minutes, then rest an hour. continue this as long and as often has possible. also take some pain killer/anti-infamitory. advil should work.

if your flat footed itz normal.
immediately go to the chiropractor
Sounds like a slight sprain or what they used to say in the old days "Oh dear, I turned my ankle." If it's not swollen that's good, it cannot be too bad then. As the poster said before me, ice it and maybe go to a drug store and buy one of those elastic fitted ankle supports and wear it for awhile.
