What can be done for an aching pain in my lateral malleolus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can try : Ice and rest, if pain persists see the doctor to find out exactly what it is. In that region are the peroneal tendons which may be causing a tendonitits. You may have also sprained an ankle ligament.
