Accepted Answer

Claudication?: You may have intermittent claudication which is related to you blood flow to your legs.  If your medical history has smoking or arterial disease, this could be a cause of this consistent pain when walking.  See your doctor or find a specialist.  I hope this helps.

They could be : Burning from diabetic neuropathy or the fact the ankles swell and this induces a tarsal tunnel syndrome.....you need to try and minimize that swelling...speak to your doc about possible diuretics or compressive socks...

Accepted Answer

Because kidney disea: It is related to your 3rd stage kidney disease.We do not have enough information as to cause of your kidney disease.
I will suggest you discuss your concern about your condition, treatment and prognosis with your nephrologist
you need Lasix (furosemide) as prescribed or you will fill up with fluids in your body and lungs.

Question 6

having pain on upper back, neck for 6 mnths with ankle & hip pain. eyes burn and there's a tingling on left arm. what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: If you are in the far east, then the list of possible causes could be extensive.  Seem kind of young to have a herniated disc in neck or back, but it is possible.  I would be more concerned about some type of chronic infection (TB) or nutritional deficiency .  Get this checked out.

Question 7

burned my ankle 3 weeks ago been on bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) and now keflex burn site swollen and red still leaking fluid, very painful to walk, what should i do?

Get to a doctor: Urgent care clinic, your dr or even an er might avoid major complications. Do it now - thinking about it will not help it and more than enough time has passed already. Legs are foundations. Take care of them - they'll take care of you for years to come.

Question 8

In certain conditions it may also represent inflammation in the posterior tibialis tendon, arthritis in the ankle or talo-navicular joints.  Your orhopaedic surgeon can help you find the diagnosis and guide you with appropriate treatment.

Question 9

what could be the cause of burning ankle pain?

Accepted Answer

Depends on location: A burning pain is commonly associated with tendinitis or nerve related issues.  If isolated to ankle not radiating up leg or into foot then likely tendinitis.  Very common condition at times associated with previous ankle sprain or increased use.  Oral NSAIDs activity modifications and a lace up brace may be helpful.
