Hello,
Kidney stones along with ankle pain may be due to hyperuricemia. Get the synovial fluid analysis done from the ankle, and look for crystals. If not responded to pain killers, then colchicine may be tried.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Tanmay Mukherjee
