Thank you for sharing your query on Healthcaremagic, I have carefully worked through your case and I recommend you to take some anti-inflammatory an pain killers 3 times/day OTC and apply some topic anti-inflammatory cream in your ankle per 7-10 days, and vitamins supplements ( B ) as your job is longstanding I advice to wear a comfortable shoes with a silicone support otherwise an ankle brace could be very helpful if the symptoms persist go to the doctor probably you got a ligament injury. I hope that my answer has been helpful, regards
