Brief Answer:
Can be arthritis or tendonitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain and swelling on the ankle that you have can be due to a joint inflammation, tendonitis or soft tissue injury in the area.
It is best to give rest top your feet, keep the foot elevated on two pillows while resting, avoid wearing heels and do a hot compress in the area. You can also use an ankle binder or an elastic brace for an earlier relief. In case the pain and swelling persists then do consult your orthopedician to get some pain killers prescribed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
