Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Pain in ankle is due to either ankle synovitis or ligament injury. You need to give little more detail of your illness.
1.Since when you are having this pain?
2.Do you have any twisting injury to ankle or any history of fall?
3.Are you having any swelling around ankle?
Please send me answers of these questions. I will try my best to help you.
