Pain at ankle/foot but not a sprain?

i am very sure i didnt sprain my ankle but it feels tight and i feel pain at times when i walk/run. what could be wrong with my ankle? even when i do not move my foot, there is some kind of discomfort that i cant describe but its just THERE!
Answer:
Hard to diagnose something like that without doing an exam...Go see a physical therapist, as they are the best at determining that sort of stuff.
It could be any number of things... a pulled muscle, a pulled tendon, the wrong shoe type, nerve spasms... I would still get it checked out. You could try heat or ice on it to see if it swells or aches, just so you know what sort of care to take. Don't just sit on it either, or it may get worse.
