Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in ankle radiating to leg and knee . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like peripheral neuropathy , hypertension , vitamin B12 deficiency or venous insufficiency . There can be other problems also like compressed nerve or injury . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or x-ray along with blood test and nerve conduction test . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for cardiac problem or nephrologist for kidney problem .For now keep your legs in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes daily and keep your legs elevated while lying down .Take proper rest and do gentle massage with flax seed oily .
