Hi
You have probably twisted / sprained your ankle causing swelling and discoloration on the outside of your ankle which is going better now.Other possibility is that you might be having might be having ankle arthritis.
I suggest you get an X Ray of the ankle to note any arthritis. Use Ankle support for mobilization.
