I have had a similar issue in the past of the tibio-talus jnt. I found long axis traction of the ankle very helpful, and also an ankle gapping procedure did wonders.

I fear that I may have the following issue:
"Anteromedial...... ankle impingement: Common causes are inversion ankle injuries and sprains sustained while playing basketball (45%), volleyball (25%), or soccer (31%). Injury to the ligament or joint capsule may lead to synovitis, scar tissue, hypertrophied soft tissue, and, ultimately, impingement"
