Hi..

Sorry to hear about your ankle pain...

I would suggest you to have a good check to rule out gouty arthritis..like .serum urea...uric acid.

Meanwhile..

I recommend you to kindly do
Lot of icing on your ankle.. frequently..
Keep your ankle wraped with a compression sleeve or bandage...
Don't bear weight on the swollen ankle... you can use crutches...
Take rest and give your ankle it's time to heal...
You can have Anti inflammatory tabs prescribed to you previously by your GP....If you have one...

You can meet a rheumatologist to rule out and proper care for your issue..

Hope this is helpful for you...
Kindly revert back in case you need any further clarification....
