What to do for ankle pain in inner ankle and shin?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
RICE: Resting, ice, compression wraps and elevation of the ankle is a good place to start. Many things can cause ankle pain. An evaluation by either a podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon would be beneficial.

Many possibilities: R.I.C.E. Rest, ice, compression, elevation. Immobilization with a splint or brace may be of benefit in the initial phase of recovery. Oral anti-inflammatory medication may help with the pain and swelling. Once improved, mobilization and physical therapy can help restore strength and function. Healing times may vary.
