Yes the magnesium lotion may help. I use it on my troublesome left ankle too. (Morton Epsom Lotion)

I had the foot doctor do new X-rays when I went last spring.
He said I had several serious spurs, and that they were irritating things, etc.

If I flex that ankle too often or too much the whole foot will swell and most of my pain is in the inner ankle area, not the lateral sural area.

You could try the very strong Salonpas, deep relieving gel, that Beatle suggested. I am using it now for my hands, and it is working well there. I haven't tried the ankle yet.

This Salonpas product is relatively new, but I found it at WalMart for a low price. Seems WalMart has lots of the most useful things we use these days! LOL
