Ankle pain involves any discomfort in one or both ankles and is often due to an ankle sprain. The ankle includes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the Inferior tibiofibular joint. An ankle sprain is an injury to the ligaments, which connect bones to one another. In most cases, the ankle is twisted inward, causing small tears in the ligaments. The tearing leads to swelling and bruising, making it difficult to bear weight on the joint.

In addition to ankle sprains, ankle pain can be caused by: Damage or swelling of tendons (which join muscles to bone) or cartilage (which cushions joints) infection in the ankle joint, Osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, Reiter syndrome and other types of arthritis. Problems in areas near the ankle that can cause you to feel pain in the ankle include: Blockage of blood vessels in the leg, Heel pain or injuries, Nerve injuries (such as tarsal tunnel syndrome or sciatica)

The injury may take a few weeks to many months to fully heal. Once the pain and swelling are mostly gone, the injured ankle will still be a little weaker and less stable than the uninjured ankle. You will need to start exercises to strengthen your ankle and avoid injury in the future. Do not begin these exercises until a health care professional tells you it is safe to start. and you will also need to work on your balance and agility. Make sure that shoes fit you properly. Avoid high-heeled shoes.
