A fall from height can lead to injury to the heel bone. It seems there might be a fracture there. You need to get Xray of Calcaneum Axial and lateral views. Also keep the leg elevated on 2 pillows and apply ice packs throughout the day. Post the X-rays and then we can take it further.

Get the advised Xray
