Ankle joint pain
Whenever I touch my ankle joint, the bulb like bone (probably medial malleolus), I feel pain. I might have hit it to the footrest of my bike or might have injured during skipping, not sure. I am experiencing this pain for past 4 months. I feel the pain when touched or after waking from sleep, otherwise I don't. What is this injury?? How can it be treated??
PS: Pain is on the upper right side of the joint.
Thanks in advance
Since the pain has come without any definite injury, kindly get a x-ray done
