Pain in ankle
My mother got her ankle twisted around three years back and gradually she had developed a soaring pain in that area. Now she complains of having constant pain in the ankle and the area is swollen. On touching it seems hard at one place and it causes pain while walking and standing. Also while sleeping it causes discomfort.
