Hi,

Please get your uric acid checked and get your X-ray and MRI of ankle done. Use ankle binder, apply diclofenac gel, give hot fomentation, take over the counter painkillers, and once the investigations are done, management will be done accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
