Why do i have ankle pain?

Ankle: That is a wide open question and one that cannot be answered without more info. See your podiatrist for an exam and an answer.

Need more info: Many causes of ankle pain: when did it start, injury?New activity?Past history of injury?Swelling?Warm to touch?Sense of instability, stiff? Other joints with pain? Family history of arthritis? To name a few.

Ankle pain: I highly recommend to seek a medical consult for a full evaluation of your ankle pain. There are many causes.

More Information: More information is required in order to address this. See a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) and describe the nature of the pain, when it started, whether there was an injury, and any other factors you can relate.

Ankle Sprain: It may heal on its own with rest, ice, compression and elevation and a gradual return to your normal activities. However, a period of time in a boot or use of crutches may be necessary depending on the severity. A physical exam by an orthopedic physician will better be able to determine your appropriate course of treatment. Hope this helps and good luck!
