Pain: if you had injury to ankle could have injured hip. You probably need to be seen

Sciatica?: Your symptoms sound like a possible sciatica, an irritation of the sciatic nerve in the low back/hip area that often has pain that travels down the leg and sometimes to the ankle.Since you're already on ibuprofen (how much?) and tramadol and the heating pad isn't working,I would suggest you see your general practitioner for a stronger pain medication and possibly some manipulation to your low back
