... then a couple of days ago my hips have begun hurting and i cannot extend my leg out while standing
... i went for a run now and ankcles are swollen.... Do you have diagnosis or suggestion... or any good streches, suport braces i could use?

1. First I recommend you take a good look at your shoes.
What you describe could be muscle pulls and due to the foot wear throwing your hip out of whack and now your ankles are getting hurt.
Forcing your legs to bend, run or lift in a way you have not used for years (due to a different cut of footwear) can cause weird stress on the whole body.
Best bet is tub soak your legs and hips. Hot tub if you have a friend who will let you use one. Do not over exercise or stretch or use braces unless a doctor recommends them. You can end up causing more damage but covering up the source of the problem.
