Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ankle pain caused by trauma . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like arthritis , gout , nerve damage or injury, such as sciatica , blocked blood vessels or infection in the joint ,But in your case the symptoms are due to trauma , which can cause hematoma , fracture or joint dislocation. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may recommend physical therapy , prescribe muscle relaxant along with stretching exercises . Doctor may give plaster or recommend surgery in severe damage . For now apply ice pack several times a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
