So sorry you're going through the pain!!! I hope you can find a good solution that works for you soon!I'm experiencing this right now and it is the most gruelling pain. If it starts I won't be able to tumble for the rest of the evening. Let alone walk.
I went to physio and she said I have a pinched joint capsule and it is common in gymnasts and cheerleaders due to constant jamming of the ankles. She also said it should alleviate some pain with treatment but mine are so bad were still working on it. I've tried every remedy and nothing is really working. Ice, heat, physio, ankle conditioning etc. tried acupuncture last week and it seems to be improving but still not nearly good enough for me to tumble!! It's such an odd injury. Best of luck to your daughter. I know her pain :(
Eta: I also have fractures that went un diagnosed in my ankle and cartilage damage. I think this is telling me I'm getting too old to tumble .. *sigh*
