That sentence is perfect grammatically, and has no problems. The sentence is formal, so it is a good way to explain why your ankle is hurting to a doctor.
There are lots of other ways of saying this, here are but a few:
"Man, I kicked the ball so hard that my left ankle has been killing ever since." (Very colloquial and informal)
"I put all my effort into kicking the ball and ended up hurting my left ankle."
"My left ankle has been hurting quite a bit ever since I kicked the ball really hard."
"There's been a pain in my left ankle since I kicked the ball with all my effort."
I hope that helps.

Thanks everybody. I thought all of your answers are great. But Dark and iangreen's are a little bit formal. Anyway, they are greatly helpful. I really appreciated that!
To James, you really gave me a good lesson!

Or if you want to go really "native" you could say: "I kicked the shit out of the ball and now my left ankle hurts like fuck". By the way, if that is the case then your kicking technique is all wrong!
