Dear Sir/Madam have gone through your query and read your symptoms. In my opinion, looking at your symptoms it's a must think that you consult an orthopedic surgeon, as this will help you get your ankle screened and X Rated, to see if there is any problem with the bone or the joint, and to take any intervention in the form of surgery if required, as late surgery in ankle joint has its own pros and cons.I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
