What is Ankle Pain?
Ankle pain is pain in the mobile area between the foot and the shin.
Ankle pain refers to pain in the top of the heel, the front of the ankle, and any of the protruding bones on the side.
What Causes Ankle Pain?
Ankle pain can be caused by tendon problems, cartilage problems, infections, fractures, and rarely tumors. It can also be caused by prolonged strenuous use or wearing inappropriate footwear.
Excessive strain on the ankle can also cause pain.
How to Relieve Ankle Pain?
Ankle pain is relieved by treating the cause of the pain. If there is strain and edema in the tendons, pain medication and the use of an ankle brace will most likely relieve the ankle pain. If the cartilage damage is mild, some injections and medication can reduce the symptoms. Ankle pain can sometimes be relieved with surgical treatment.
What Helps with Ankle Pain?
Cold application and rest generally help with ankle pain. Avoiding walking on uneven roads and using comfortable shoes will help with ankle pain. Excessive weight and carrying heavy loads can increase ankle pain. Avoiding these can help with ankle pain.
Pain relievers and creams can be effective in pain control.
