Hello,
I think that the pain and swelling in your ankle is from varicose veins of your leg. The blood does not circulate easily and may cause thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis. I think that you should do a Doppler ultrasound examination of the lower extremities blood vessels to exclude this option. Wish you quick improvement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
