Ankle impingement: Consider orthopedic foot & ankle specialist for exam & MRI. Further options include PT, injections, laser therapy, purified omega, arthroscopic excision of impingement. Define the specific impingement prior to any surgery.

Specializes in Podiatry

See a Physician: If 5 months of self guided conservative treatment have failed to produce improvement in symptoms it is time to seek the assistance of a Podiatric Surgeon who can accurately diagnose the problem, rule out any other possible underlying sources of the pain, and guide the next phase of treatment whether it be a more aggressive conservative plan or surgical intervention.
