Hi,
Since there is a certain history of injury, please take an x ray of the ankle to rule out bony injury.Once this has been ruled out, your pain can be treated as a case of sprain with rest, analgesics, ankle binder and cold packs.In any case it may take as long as 15 days for to get rid of the problem (if properly taken care of )
