A member asked:
I have been having very painful pressure in my ankle, do you know what this might be, or what caused it?

See a doctor: It could be swelling, or a problem with a nerve. Best to have it checked.

Not good: Anytime something is "very painful" you have a serious problem. You should see a podiatrist or orthopedist for x-rays and evaluation. If you have a high fever with the swelling and pain you should go to the er.
