Depending on the cause of the pain If the cause of the pain no longer exists the pain should go away with little to no treatment at all.If the cause was not addressed the pain will come back once you are weight-bearing again.
It depends on what the ankle pain is like. If you have swelling and it is localized to the ankle and is due to arthritis then massage can help to reduce swelling. If you have joint pain and no muscle pain in the muscle surrounding the ankle joint then massage most likely will not help.
Massage can be effective. I recommend you schedule an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation and diagnosis
Sometimes. But it really depends on the cause of the pain.
