About three weeks ago, I started feeling this dull ache just above my right ankle. There wasn't any swelling at first; it really only bothered me when I was walking around. After a few days, though, the pain seemed to migrate down toward the joint itself, and I noticed some slight swelling too. I tried rubbing some muscle rub on it, but nothing really happened until I switched things up with a warm compress—that actually provided quite a bit of relief.
Do you think this could be tendonitis or something else entirely? How should I go about treating this... would doing contrast showers—switching between hot and cold—be a good idea?
