Question 1

does a burning sensation in my ankles mean i have ankle arthritis?

Accepted Answer

Burning ankle: This could be many things from ankle arthritis, tendon issues, nerve issues, etc.  If really bothersome, you should see a foot and ankle surgeon.

Question 2

i have burning sensation in my right ankle, and sometimes it hurts when i walk on it, almost like a nerve is twisting, my other ankle swells at times too, i have rhuematoid arthritis and athersclerosis disease, could these be symptoms of either of those d

Accepted Answer

RA: You are right about the nerve being twisted. Due to the RA your joints are changing and they swell. Increase swelling in your ankles places pressure on the nerves that go through the "expansions" around your ankle. Hence this puts pressure  on your nerves and pinches them causing burning sensation. Atherosclerosis would cause cramping pain  in your calves.

Question 3

i think my ankle is sprained. i feel a burning sensation and the pain isnt  going away. its a constant pain. should i have an x-ray done? if so where?

Accepted Answer

Ankle pain: Was there trauma? History of systemic disease?: Diabetes, RA, HBP, genetic disorder. Pain awaken from sleep? Swelling, radiating pain/numbness/tingling? Pinpoint tenderness? The possibility of a gouty flare is possible requiring blood tests, or local aspiration.  X-ray of the lower leg, ANKLE, and foot will reveal bony pathology, and a complete/thorough exam may be in order. See your doc-

Question 4

i sprained my ankle about 6 months ago and damaged a couple of my ligaments and it still hurts and has burning sensation.?

Accepted Answer

Needs a recheck: should be healed after 6 months. I suggest seeing your treating  physician.

Question 5

my 12yrs old daughter has frequent pains in both her knees (more) and ankles (less). it feels sore, tightening followed by a burning sensation that makes it painful to continue walking or standing. mostly happens when shes been sitting and gets up.

Accepted Answer

Knee,ankle pains: If these symptoms resolve quickly after getting up from sitting and walking around, this is most likely not an inflammatory process like juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, but could be a variant of growing pains seen in that age group. Nevertheless, for validation I recommend consulting a rheumatologist for proper evaluation and advice. Any appropriate tests will be ordered.

Question 6

how to treat burning sensation with broken ankle?

Accepted Answer

May be normal: Burning sensation may be normal from swelling after the injury.
Check with your doctor to make sure what the problem is.

Question 7

ankle swelling and pain with a burning sensation. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Pressure on nerve: You may have compression on the nerve which would cause the burning.

Question 8

i am a 35 yr old female. i have burning sensation in my left ankle. i've never injured it. ?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Are there any changes in the skin? Are you able to move your ankle without pain? Are there any other symptoms? You may wish to just watch and wait, as it does not appear to be a pressing issue. Try using cold or warm compress and see if either one helps.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 9

what could a burning sensation in the ankle mean. no injury although to me it feels like ice to my skin.

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: Some type of neuropathy or irritation to nerve.  Diabetes, alcohol, b12, Folic Acid all considerations.  Heavy metal exposure needs to be considered.

Question 10

i weigh 184..i am 5"1..i have been experiencing a burning sensation in my left ankle, that comes and goesre has me thinking what's causing it..

Accepted Answer

Intermittent: This sounds like intermittent neuritis, a temporary compression of the nerve ( s) in your ankle. I would suggest that you seek a medical doctor and get checked for possible nerve disease and diabetes.
