Raise it up on a cushion, take some ibuprofen and see if goes down. Maybe you can get out later.

Stick a bag of frozen peas on it for 15 minutes, wrapped in a tea towel

Check for insect bites?

I know the feeling, not literally. I have been plagued with illness the last week and I have done zero miles. Sucks!

Go to the pub for a long lunch.

Just the one ankle?

You've got two legs you know, so stop making excuses and GET OUT THERE!!!

Did you squat down and bend your ankle badly?

Gout.

Gout.

Could be.

Could be.

I occasionally suffer with bouts of it. Starts as an inexplicable ache/pain in ankle and / or ball of foot and 24 to 48 hours later f'ing excruciating pain. Gout is a bastard. 1500mg of Naproxen when it flares up then 500mg every few hours helps keep the heat and swelling down which in turns helps the pain a little.

I've got 3 friends that suffer with it.
