Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query .

Well looking into your problem It will be difficult to tell the cause of ankle pain but since it has not got any swelling it can be exercise related small ligament injury or sprain , in this acute condition it is better to take rest as it will reduce the movement at the joint and help in healing.

You should avoid the exercise till the pain subsides.

Take care.
