A member asked:

Recently felt discomfort/tightness in my left ankle. it is not so much a pain but more uncomfortable than anything. went out dancing two nites before.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try arch supports: I suspect you have flat feet and most likely could benefit from arch supports, especially if the pain occurred after dancing in flat shoes.
