[|Human|] hi while out shopping i noticed my ankle started to hurt , enough to carry on shopping with a painfull limp for no reason a did not twisgt it and wearing sensible shoes, a weekn later i have swelling round 3 quarters of my ankle and can not point my foot even if forced and still hurting.
[|AI|]  Hello, As in most cases, the swelling of ankles are due to various reasons, and we definitely need to know more details about the cause of it. Or any past medical history like blood pressure, diabetes etc. If there is no past medical history like mentioned above then this swelling will be related to ligament weakness which usually happens in most cases without knowledge.  Doing hot water fermentation, keep the feet elevated over the pillow while lying down, performing ankle toe movements along with straight leg raise should help reduce the swelling. If the swelling happens while you stand for long or walk for long then using compression bandage is advised. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
