Brief Answer:
Needs more information.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are likely having synovitis of both ankle joints. I wanted to know whether you are having fever, whether other joints are painful and swollen. Primary treatment is elevation of foot and ankle during resting periods and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. For iching cetrrizine is required. You may need investigation such as rheumatoid factor test, uric acid test, serum creatinine, blood urea, heart function test and thyroid function test to further investigation the cause.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
