Ankle joint pain sustaining after injury
My mother had an inversion of foot in an irregular surface that led to strain of ankle before 1 year. After the injury she consulted doctor that advised regular massage over affected area. For few months their was not much pain in ankle but it persists till now, not severe but sometimes. Advice some treatment.
Ankle injury requires aggressive physiotherapy exercises after recovery of the injury for 2 reasons. One, ankle bears the weight of the entire body so the amount of strength required in ankle muscles is more. Second, ankle joint is most important joint for stability while walking hence if there is any malalingment of bones or if there is some muscle weakness pain can recur.
Next Steps
Advise you to please visit the nearby physiotherapist for better diagnosis and treatment.
Health Tips
Use ice packs and if there is swelling then elevate the limb and do some ankle movements.
