Need treatment: its important to know how long it's going on. If it's a new problem could be arthritis or cellulitis. Can also be gout. It's need to be looked at and definitely requires an urgent treatment.

Ankle pain: most likely tendinitis of the achilles or perineal tendons. Make sure to stretch calf muscles and take antiinflammatories
