My ankle hurts when i point my foot and rotate it? i used to be a dancer. now am 60. any relationship?

Possibly: Dancers are most prone to posterior injuries to the ankle (the back of the ankle) due to those very same types of pointing and rotational movements. A couple of the more common are posterior impingement, where the posterior ankle capsule is impinged between the talus and the tibia, and a fracture of the posterior process of the talus that can become trapped and painful during particular motions.

Ankle pain: In addition to posterior impingement, arthritis should be ruled out as well as a cartilage tear.
