Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Most common cause for ankle pain at rest is calcium and vitamin d 3 deficiency.
So better to get done blood levels of calcium and vitamin d 3.
If they are deficient then you should start supplements.
You can wear ankle caps made up of crepe bandage.
You can also apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Keep legs elevated for more pain relief.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
