Ankle pain: And swelling can have a variety of causes. Difficult without examination to give a precise diagnosis. You may also need tests done. http://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/ankle-pain/basics/definition/sym-20050796 Here is some general information but recommend you consult a doctor licensed in your area.

Need more info.: Was there a trauma involved here? Did you twist the ankle? Did you fall? Do you have any medical problems, such as gout or arthritis that started at a younger age? Is it one ankle or both? Are there any other joints that are swollen? This will be a good issue to review via virtual consultation.
