Ankle bursitis ?: There is no bursa in the ankle ,so who gave you that diagnosis? Most ankle problems are related to tendonitis or ligament tears. ,and yes they are quite painful. Try ice, Nsaids , support , of ankle which is laced up and can be adjusted thru the day. Get additional follow up if you are not improving as there could also be a problem within the ankle joint itself.
