What are ankle pain causes in teens?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many: They might be "growing pains", overuse, juvenile arthritis, bone lesions, sprains or other injuries among others. Seeing a podiatrist or pediatric orthopedist can make the diagnosis. X-rays may need to be taken.

Depends: There are too many sources of ankle to pain list here. The treatment and the ability to control it would depend on an accurate diagnosis and workup. See a foot and ankle specialist for the right plan.
