Hello,
It looks that you may have synovitis of ankle. There are various reasons for this like inflammatory, infection or iatrogenic. If it continue to persist even after taking anti-inflammatory medicines then you may ask for biopsy to rule out the reason behind this.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
