Pain in ankle: Sounds like you have develop some post traumatic arthritis in that ankle. Over the counter orthotics will probably not help you. I would talk to your doctor about custom orthotics or wearing a brace on your ankle for stability.

Would recommend: X-rays and clinical exam to exam why the ankle is bothering you. Orthotics are not a magical cure for everything. You may need more control of the ankle whereas, an orthotic has more direct effect on the arch, with a secondary effect (not as powerful) on the ankle.

Do NOT get: Orthotics at a drug store. If you need them get examined first by a podiatrist to see if you need them and then get good ones there.
