I would recommend icing it and elevating it. It's probably just a bruise. Take some advil and get some rest.

Sports injuries: RICE!!!
R - Rest
I - Ice (20 on/20 off)
C - Compression (wear an ace bandage or an ankle brace, but not too tight)
E - Elevation (raise it to above your heart)
If it's still hurting in a couple of days, you may want to see the dr. Sounds like a good bruise to me. Follow RICE and I bet you'll be right as rain before too long.
