It sounds like you need to look higher up than the ankle the problem actually sounds like a nerve pinch in you back. Did you injury your back in the car accident? That can definitely cause pain, spasms, and weakness. The other possibility is that without proper care of the ankle you may have scartissue that is cause the ankle to remain in the stiffness phase of an injury. Did you have physical therapy after the injury? This could also help. Just a couple of thoughts.
