I'm having trouble with ankle pain, especially in my left foot, and it seems worse in the mornings. When I wake up, my ankle really hurts, and it gets painful again after resting. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do?

I'm really worried because my CRP Reactive Protein level has shot up to 29 mgDL. I read on Google that anything over 10 mgDL means a higher risk for heart attacks.
