This is kind of a silly question because ankle pain can be caused by a number of reasons. Depending on what area of the ankle will depend on the treatment. Consult a podiatrist but one that you call make sure he specializes in ankle pain.

A thorough evaluation to ensure that the injury is not being neglected that may cause chronic problems. If there is bruising, swelling, and pain associated with walking, then immediate evaluation is recommended by a qualified foot and ankle specialist. Such findings may indicate fracture to the ankle or foot, rupture to ankle ligaments, tendon injury, or cartilage injury within the ankle joint. Neglected management could result in irreversible joint problems or lead to chronic ankle instability.
It depends what causes the ankle pain. If there is structural damage then sometimes repair to the structural damage needs to be performed. Other times Physical Therapy can help. Anti-inflammatory medication, braces can be beneficial. I suggest that you see a specialist for evaluation.Jonathan M. Kletz, DPM, FACFASDallas, Athens and Gun Barrel City.214-340-8885
Hi! If stretching and over the counter mediation is not helping, I would have an evaluation by a podiatrist of the source of the pain.
The answer is it depends, it depends on the root cause of the pain. if that is not known, there is no way to know what is the best treatment.
