Pain near ankle while walking
For the last 2 days, I started walking for an hour to improve my health. I realized my right ankle is paining as long as I walk. I had the same pain whenever I used to exercise/run. What do i do? I really want to get my health up.
I had taken tests in 2020 and Vitamin B12 (98), Lynphocytes were 45, ANC was low (1932), Vitamin D (23.10).
Let me know the right medication. Thank you!

Ankle pain can be due to swelling after walking or due to some injury to bone or ligament. Try compression bandage or a stockinet while walking. You can try some anti-inflammatory dose of paracetamol for few days. Keep leg elevated at home. If not getting better then may need an xray or a Doppler scan to see the condition of veins in legs. Sometimes some dilated veins in legs can cause pooling of blood in legs after exercises leading to swelling. Try consultation with an orthopaedic surgen once locally.
