Ankle pain: Since you had a severe injury few years ago and pain is within the ankle joint get checked for osteochondral defect. See ankle specialist and likey get MRI to find out for sure. Had a case similar to yours and it was an osteochondral defect just last week.

See a physician: It may be the sequela of one of those bad sprains or what could have even been a fracture. See a specialist of the ankle for x-rays and examination.
