Ankle/foot pain after jumping from low heights?


Hi, I would like to understand why do both of my ankles and the rest of the feet hurt after I jump from a low heights (e.g. after being seating in a place for which my hands were enough to lift myself and get there, ~7 in higher than my waist) It has happened three times already: I jump, land on both of my feet and they feel weird, not as if I had a bruise but probably a dull sensation that takes a few seconds to leave before I can walk conforatably. (I made some small feet movements afterwards)
I sprained my left ankle ~6 months ago, wore a cast for about 5 days, did some PT; however I have twisted it two or three times since (last time ~2 months ago). It wasn't too bad when I twisted the ankle. I do not recall twisting my right ankle recently but even if i did (went hiking a few times during the summer) it must have not been too bad for I do not really remember it. Why is this happening? Why do BOTH feet feel like that after jumping. thank you.

The only thing that I can think of would be stress fractures or maybe even a bone spur. Try this though ..... put one foot across the opposite knee and pull your toes backwards for a few seconds ... gently. This might help to work out the tendons or muscles in your feet.
