I have Ankle Pain
- Sudden or severe pain in the ankle.
- Swelling of the ankle.
- Bruising of the ankle.
- Inability to walk or bear weight on the injured joint.
What's the Cause?
Ankle injuries commonly occur during intense sports activities or when walking on an uneven surface. An injury occurs when your foot or ankle is forced into an unnatural position causing your ligament to stretch beyond its normal range of motion.
Inflammation to your soft tissues will follow, resulting in swelling and other discomforts. The pain you are experiencing can also be caused by fracture or arthritis in the ankle joint.
