What Causes Recurring Pain In The Ankle?

Sometimes with any recognizable pattern or incident, my left outer ankle becomes very painful and swells up for a few days. After several days the pain and swelling leave but not before causing a lot of pain and discomfort. Not sure if this is enough information to work with but I honestly cannot detect any pattern that leads up to this.
