Usually an injury or some kind of trauma to the ankle, foot or leg. If it's very painful or lasts for more than a day or two you would want to see a doctor. If it's a little sore, you can try an over-the-counter pain reliever such as Tylenol or Motrin and keep it elevated. You can also try an ice pack wrapped in a towel to help reduce the swelling.

What does it mean when you have only one swollen ankle and it feels like there is extra tissue there?

That feeling is probably just excess fluid from a mild sprain. Press down the tissue of the swollen ankle with your finger, then do it to your other ankle. If the swollen ankle rebounds slower then the normal ankle, it's just a sprain. Elevate and ice it. If not, seek medical advice.
