Any persistent pain needs to be checked out by a medical professional.

While someone may have had something similar, it is impossible to give an accurate diagnosis over the internet, even for a medically qualified individual.

Make sure you shoes are not tied too tight - feet swell when running

Thank you for the advice. It feels like bruising but there is no swelling. In some ways it feels that if my ankle cracked it would relieve the tension. There is no great pain just a persistent niggle.
