Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. There are many reasons why your ankles may feel stiff, not the least of which is simply age. With age collagen stiffens, making soft tissues like our ligaments and tendons stiffer. Another possible cause is osteoarthritis. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. Physical therapy can help. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
