Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, looking at your symptoms its a must thing that you consult an orhtopedic surgeon, as this will help you get your ankle screened and X Rayed, to see if there is any problem with the bone or the joint, and to take any intervention in the form of surgery if required, as late surgery in anlke joint has its own pros and cons.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
