Gouty arthritis: There can be several causes for ankle pain. Gout and arthritis are definitely two common causes. Your doctor has done the correct thing by organizing blood tests and starting you on anti inflammatories to see if they help. Please review with your doctor when your results are available

Wear & tear?: There are a number of possible causes for achey joints. Osteoarthritis (wear & tear arthritis) commonly starts to cause pain in people's 50's and 60's. Often caused by old injuries or a lot of walking/running. X-rays will help to diagnose this. It is difficult to be more accurate without asking a lot of detailed questions and examining you. Your Dr sounds like they're doing a good job.

Ankle pain : Sore ankles can be due to osteoarthritis ( wear and tear causing arthritis) , gout , injury , infection . Bloods and examination would have ruled out infection and gout . X Ray would confirm osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is managed by pain relief , sometimes surgery is recommended too but not often .
