Reducing inflammation will help with the pain. I recommend you be evaluated by a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis, and treatment options,
It depends on what the problem is. See a podiatrist to evaluate what is wrong before making that decision. Dr. Weiss
How bad is it? What is the cause of your ankle to have that problem, is it from work or workouts, or did you step on something and twisted it.
Treatment options for ankle joint pain can vary depending on the underlying cause, but physical therapy and pain management are great options.
The first thing would be to get some idea or understanding of why you're experiencing ankle pain. Is this a sprain/strain? A break/fracture? Arthritis? Is this referred pain from somewhere in the calf or somewhere in the foot? Effective treatment is going to be dependent on an accurate diagnosis, a generic statement like "ankle pain" only goes so far.
If you haven't already, I suggest starting with your primary care provider or maybe an urgent care clinic. Get an evaluation and an x-ray to see if the cause of the pain can be determined.
Once you have a cause in hand, figuring out treatment becomes a lot easier.
For ankle joint pain I recommend the modalities of acupuncture, herbs and massage 2-3 times a week for 4-6 weeks to get the best result.
