Hi
Thanks for posting your query
Pain and swelling seems to be inflammatory in nature. As wbc counts are increased, it is better to get it evaluated to rule out any infective pathology. Meanwhile give rest to your ankle and knee . You can take ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.
Hope this will helps you.
Regards.
