“Are You Dealing With Ankle Pain And Worried Because It’s Not Getting Better?

If your ankle puts you in agonising pain, I understand how frustrating and hurtful it must be.

After nearly half a decade of working with ankle and foot injury patients, I’ve found that in many cases the pain was caused by an issue with the hip or even the knee.

The quicker you identify the source of the pain, the faster you can get the appropriate help and treatment.

Why Is Ankle Pain So Common?

Ankle pain is the type of foot pain that is directly connected to the hip, leg, knee, your overall joints.

The body works together in harmony, so if you obtain an ankle injury, it can put more pressure on your knee or hips and cause you more pain.

Ankle injuries are very common as it takes only a few seconds to sprain your ankle and then you’re out of the game, work, and other activities for a long time.

What Are The Symptoms Of Ankle Problems?

The symptoms of ankle pain will be occurring as usual symptoms of an injury and joint problems.

You might see swelling, feel a lot of pain, have difficulty moving, and feel burning.

This can really affect your life in so many ways as you’re not able to walk the dog, play with your kids, or do sports that you enjoy so much. I know how frustrating and upsetting it is, so you need to get the help that you need.

Any of these symptoms should be treated seriously and you should seek medical advice as soon as you notice the changes.

What Causes Ankle Problems?

Some ankle problems can occur because of the simplest things like having a sedentary lifestyle or sitting long hours at work. Sometimes you might step on something or fall awkwardly on your foot and injure your ankle.

Other issues may be caused by an injury to the knee that eventually puts a pressure on your feet. It’s quite common to get an ankle injury when doing certain activities like playing golf where you need to twist your body and move your feet to swing the club.

Another common ankle pain can happen to pregnant women. As you grow in size during your pregnancy, your feet may get more and more swollen and weak, which can cause ankle injuries.

Ankle Pain Treatment Options

While you might have been told by your doctors, friends, family, or personal trainers that painkillers and rest will help your ankle pain, this is not the case.
