HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that there is mild muscle or tendon injury in the ankle.
It would be best to rest the ankle, this is necessary for full healing to occur.
If this is not possible at this time, then continue the wraps and ice therapy along with pain medication.
I hope this helps
