Specializes in Family Medicine

See doctor: In the absence of an acute injury, it is not normal to have routine ankle pain. There are a large number of possilbe reasons, so this deserves evaluation by a doctor who can do an appropriate examination and order studies. Once a diagnosis is made, a reasonable treatment plan can be developed.
