Strain, OA?: The ankle carries your full weight and get get injured by poor shoe choices, twisting, force (such as jumping and landing hard) which strains its support structures. Are you a jogger, treadmill, walk on uneven ground? At your age, you most likely aggravated you ankle but we’re not aware of it at the time. Consider a better pair of shoes with ankle support, and see a doc if this doesn’t resolve
