See orthopedist: If you like to run and you're ankle pain is hindering you than see a board certified orthopedic surgeon . An ankle 'strain' from 6 months ago should be well- healed by this time... Possibly there is another problem w/ your ankle( impingement , talar dome injury, peroneal tendon injury, etc. Etc). Best of luck!
