What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Right Ankle?

I have pain and swelling in my right ankle. At bedtime I cannot lay on my right side because the pain is so severe in my ankle. I just read that an old injury may be the reason. Maybe forty years ago, I did chip my right ankle bone. I couldn t walk, foot/ankle all black and blue. I suffered with it for two weeks then went to the doctor. He said there was nothing he could do but re-break the bone. What do you think?

Hello,

As per your history it cannot be because of previous injury. It has to be some new injury or some joint related problem.

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