Swelling ankel only left side?

Answers:
Could be overuse, minor injury and not given a chance to heal, your shoes may be worn out (shoes can look new but after 4-6 months the support can be shot and start causing pain) etc.
Since you know of no injury, use the R.I.C.E. method for a week or so and it will probably resolve itself.
REST: Rest and elimination of activity which aggravates the injury.
ICE: Apply Cold to stop pain and restrict excess Fluid to the injury.
COMPRESSION: To further inhibit swelling caused by excess Fluid to the injury.
ELEVATION: To further inhibit swelling caused by excess Fluid to the injury.
Take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.
GOOD LUCK!
