Hello!
It is difficult to tell withou being to see her exactly what is going on here, It could well be a soft tissue injury caused from jumoing or landing awkardly. If this is the case then jumping on the leg/foot will cause pain but can subside as well. My advice would be to restrict her as much as you can to allow her to rest that leg. Also - discourage her from jumping up and down as this does put a lot of pressure on an already sore/injured leg.
If the symptoms persist I would advise aveterinary check incase something else is going on i.e cat bite etc.
