Do I have a avulsion fracture of the 5th metatarsal?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: I fell about 2 weeks ago. Im 15. The pain started on the outer side of my ankle then spread to the inner side of my ankle and then moved to the outer side of my foot. It hurt at the arch for a while but that went away. My dad got me an ankle brace and my ankle feels better but the side of my foot is still killing me. It doesn't help that I have been going to cross practices for 2 weeks with it hurting like this. Gets worse each day. I have been putting it in an ice bucket and using a heat pad but nothing is getting better. Do you think I have a jones or avulsion fracture of the 5th metatarsal?

Condition analysis:
You really won't really know unless you go to get a xray done where a orthepdist would know exactley what you have done to your ankle you might have a fracture and not know it i think i would see a dr about it

Instructions:
Splint: A splint may need to be placed to support the broken ankle. The splint usually remains for several days. A splint allows for room to accommodate swelling. If the damaged ankle is not displaced, the splint may be applied immediately without moving the broken ankle. However, if the bones are displaced and/or the ankle joint is dislocated, a closed reduction is performed while the splint is placed. This treatment involves setting the tibia and/or fibula bones and ankle joint to improve the position and pain at the ankle. This treatment may require some type of anesthesia.
