Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Both of these drugs are effective in nerve related pain and one can have a trial with either of them. Your doctor will choose one of them considering side effects and your profile.

That being said, sudden onset pain around the ankle might be muscular ache where other anti-inflammatory drugs can be useful.

Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have any other inquiries.

Regards
Dr.Pratap
