Hello..
For the past 7-8 months I have noticed that my ankle starts hurting when I walk more than 2-3 miles at a strech. Pain appears usually after I wake up from the sleep. Pain is located on the supero-lateral side of ankle joint. Pain is mild when I move the ankle joint.. But it is worse when I put weight on my ankle. I have also noticed mild swelling after prolonged walking. Its goes away after 2-3 days of rest.
I can normally do my routine activities without any problem. Pain appears only when I walk for a long distance and goes away completely with rest.

 Hello,
The distal tibia and fibula are in the area you are describing as well as the peroneal tendons.
You may have an x-ray of the area to asses the bones.
Otherwise, you are likely dealing with a soft tissue problem e.g. ligament or tendons.
Treatment may include partial weight bearing, range of motion and strengthening exercises, NSAID and physical therapy.
Take care.
