Ice makes pain worse. If you visit that forum here, you can find threads to this effect.
Another thing you can try Kris, is to soak the ankles in tepid water with epsom salts. The magnesium in there will get into the ankle somewhat and magnesium blocks the NMDA pain receptors. So it might work for you.
And I hope you are taking a magnesium supplement, it will do that orally as well, when you are not soaking.
