It can be ankle synovitis or arthritis. I would suggest you to get MRI of the ankle joint and send it to me. This will show us if there is any fluid collection or inflammation inside joint. You should also get CRP,ESR and ra factor also. Till you get these investigation you should take pain killers and hot water fomentation.
