Below ankle above heel pain
I've had pain below my ankle above the heel for almost 2 3 months and I've consulted an orthopedic for the same. After undergoing the xray of my foot he told its probably because my bone density along the areas were low and gave me calcium tablets. I've got kidney stone removal a year ago. And he prescribed Vitamin D injected to be shot once for 3 months and suggested to do few exercises and avoid flatwares. Did all those and still one shot of vitamin d left. The pain now is not as much as before but still when I press in the region or massage i get crippling pain. And i often get leg spasms. I have a job that demands lots of standing and moving from one place to another. What to do next ?

Your symptoms suggest you may be suffering from inflammation in the region.
Undergo X-ray of the ankle joint. This will give some clarity regarding the cause and it can be treated accordingly.
Try a course of analgesics and physiotherapy to see if it helps.
