Here are some initial steps you can take for ankle pain after running:
Rest: Allow your ankle to rest and avoid putting additional strain on it. Refrain from running or engaging in activities that exacerbate the pain.
Ice Therapy: Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the affected ankle for 15-20 minutes at a time. This can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Be sure to use a thin cloth to protect your skin.
Compression: Consider using a compression bandage or stocking to help reduce swelling. Ensure it is snug but not too tight to avoid restricting blood flow.
If the ankle pain persists or worsens, it's crucial to seek a comprehensive diagnosis from our experienced podiatrist at Jose Loor Podiatry Practice. Running-related ankle pain could be due to various factors such as overuse, improper footwear, or an underlying condition.

A combination of foot soaking with Epsom salts and icing is a great contrast bath method. If pain persists may want to get an x-ray done.
In order to answer that, I would have to know the cause of the ankle pain. Is it a muscle problem, a nerve issue or excessive pronation.
You will have to have an evaluation to determine the cause of the pain. Please make an appointment with a provider.
I recommend that you see a podiatrist or orthopedics to see if there are any foot deformities, shoe gear issue, running style insufficiency, as well as structural causes.
The cause of the pain needs to be determined. Consult with a Board Certified Podiatric Surgeon who is Board Certified by the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgeons.

Don’t stop
You should ice the ankle, and take anti-inflammatory medications. You can wear an ankle brace during running for extra support. If the pain persists or worsens, you may need imaging studies, such as c-ray, CT scan, or MRI to evaluate the cause of your pain.
