Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the ankle without any history of injury is likely to be due to arthritic changes in the ankle. In addition to the joint lubricants you are taking, mild pain killer, hot fomentation and a regular physiotherapy is also necessary to get rid of the swelling.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
