Okay, good news on the non hard part. Sounds like it is just from overuse and stress on the ankle then, you can get it drained for sure if it is really bothering you, not the most pleasant thing to have done, but it works and if you take care of it, it\'ll heal up quick. Only real thing that\'s gonna make it better though, is rest, stay off it as much as you can, maybe a week off from skating and keep the elevation going. A heat pack for 15 minutes, then an ice pack for 15 would be a good thing too, since it is soft and gooshy. Always go heat first for the muscle, then ice for the joint.
Good luck with the ankle, hope you recover soon and fully!
