A member asked:

40 yr old healthy male has random burning sensation inside right ankle bone. no injuries. what could be likely cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ankle pain: two common causes of pain without trauma are gout and neuropathy. When docs here burning pain we think more of nerve pain, see your doctor for a check and possible EMG test along with some basic labs.

Dr Ihle and another doctor agreed
