Hi!. Thanks for the query. You may be suffering from severe sprain leading to Tendon injury and treatment is simply complete rest. You may try anklet for that ankle and use some mild analgesics. As much as possible while sleeping keep the leg raised on a pillow and also while sitting rest your leg on a stool.
