Twisted my ankle 2 years ago and it was swollen. swelling and pain went away after a few days so i never saw a doctor, but still feel pain randomly?

Go to the doctor: Often, chronic pain from an ankle sprain can occur if not treated properly and quickly enough. I would have your ankle evaluated, xray or MRI and you may need a cortisone injection and/or physical therapy to relieve your pain.
