Would short ankle air cast help ankle tendonitis, pain more when going down stairs/ circular swelling @ lateral area. achepain progresses during day..

Ankle injury: A long leg pneumatic cam walker would be best. Achilles/Gastroc-soleus complex would be better immobilized. Some of the tendons do cross above the knee joint. MRI is best for ankle injury. Good luck
