Brief Answer:
possibel incarcerated hernia
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome. This may be subacutely incarcerated hernia where small or large bowel are compressed in hernia sac. All this can lead to your symptoms so you should see surgeon. This should be as soon as possible.
Ankle swelling may be caused by some other issues such as vein trombosis, erisipelas or heart weakness and kidney failure. They may not be related most time but it needs evaluation finally.
Wish you good health. Regards
