You can try it. I get a pain in my left ankle sometimes too.
I find the magnesium lotion very helpful. I'd be lost without it.
Cold may not be a good idea. Cold reduces circulation and in the feet that may not be good.
When I use cold treatments it is on my knees and back, and neck.
I don't do cold on my feet.
The cold feelings from Biofreeze and other camphor/menthol rubs does not produce real cold...it only feels like it. So circulation of the blood does not change.
