The answer to your questions is "it depends", it depends on the root cause of the pain, once the root cause is identified, then the treatment can begin. Recommend that you seek the consult of a podiatrist or orthopedic doctor to seek treatment options.
I would recommend seeing a Podiatrist first, as they specialize in only foot and ankle pain and problems.
It is fully dependent on what the cause of your ankle pain is. You may have actual joint pain. You may have a problem with a ligament or a tendon. It is best to have the problem evaluated by a medical professional-preferably a specialist in the foot and ankle, to get a proper diagnosis. Then a proper treatment plan can be made for you.
Start with rest, ice and elevation. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis and treatment options.
