Hello,
If she isn't diabetic than icing should help reduce the pain. Using icing for the ankle joint as well as the lower back to the pain sensation can be desensitized. If she is diabetic then hot water fermentation for the lower back and ankle. Also, try to stabilize the ankle joint in crepe Bandage or ankle brace.
Wait for the pain to come down. Post which you can give the details of the status so we can advise some exercises to avoid future pains.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
