[|Human|] yes my ankle was injured in april when I turned it during a work out on a box ball. I felt it was only a sprain, but now it swells when I turn it during golf and hurts when I walk without a shoe. The bottom of my foot between my heal and arch is sore and the ankle is currently swollen.
[|AI|]  Ligament injuries around ankle (sprain) takes time to heal and swelling usually persist for 2-3 months. You can wear ankle grip or ankle binder while playing or prolonged walking.  Ankle grip will strengthen ligaments and compression provided by it, will reduce swelling. Keep limb elevated on pillow during sleeping. If there is pain, you can take a mild analgesic such as ibuprofen. For pain between heal and arch, toe stretching exercises will be beneficial. Hope this helps. Hope this answers your question.
