There are many reasons for ankle pain, mainly seen in chronic strain, osteoarthritis and fracture.
1. Chronic strain injury: when the ankle is strained due to muscle and ligament strains caused by a long-term exercise, pain and swelling in the ankle will occur.
2. Osteoarthritis: usually seen in middle-aged and old people, patients in this age group are mostly due to joint cartilage degeneration, hyperplasia, etc., which triggers aseptic inflammation of the ankle joint, causing swelling, pain and activity limitation of the joint.
3. Fracture: When the foot and ankle are hit by external force, resulting in localized fracture, pain in the ankle will occur during activities.
There may be other causes of ankle pain, such as tenosynovitis, gout, rheumatoid or rheumatoid arthritis, bone tumors, diabetic complications and varicose veins, etc. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time, complete the relevant examinations, and carry out targeted treatment after clarifying the cause of the disease.
