Hi and welcome to HCM

According to your description , pain over your ankle, feet and legs seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination to rule out any infective cause.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
