Dear patient
Ankle sprain is less likely since pain increases on walking and activity in sprained ankle. where exactly is the pain? if it is within ankle and improves with activity inflammatory condition is more likely like early arthritis. If pain is in the bottom of heel bone likely disease is plantar fascitis. you need to be examined by orthopaedic surgeon to conform diagnosis. Meanwhile start tab zerodol sp twice a day for pain relief.
