Ankle pains

I start running again around a month or so ago.
When I am running I am having some pain in and around my ankle area. I am wondering; is it something that continuing to run on will sort out in a matter of weeks or is it something I should go and seek medical advice on?
Am starting to wonder about it and am looking for opinions. Would a gel pad in my running shoe help as my foot goes inward when running causing blisters on my inner foot also.

Lot's of possible medicl and equipment causes.. poor fitting/wrong type of shoes, not warming up, etc.
Have you changed shoe brand, got new ones (same brand), does it happen on hills, flat, downhill?
If it is very painful, I would certainly try and find the cause before trying to run through the pain - as this may lead to further issues.
If a novice runner - who is serious about running AND not getting injured, it is well worth the extra cost and go to a 'proper' running shop who can analyse your gait, etc. They will then suggest a shoe suitable for you.
I did this about a year ago after guessing what kind of shoe I needed - bad mistake. Blisters, pains, etc.
