hello
Please get checked by an orthopedist.It could be Achilles tendinitis settling in or some arthralgia in the ankle joint which can be known by testing physically, x rays, MRI, in meantime one may try hot fomentation and advil otc medicines as a short course.Selective treatment may entail inj hydrocortisone infiltration at the area after confirming diagnosis, if surgeon thinks necessary
thanks
