Causes of Ankle Pain
Ankle discomfort can be caused by a variety of factors. Due to excruciatingly painful ankle injuries, you may be unable to bear weight on your ankle. Even minor discomfort can make it difficult to complete routine tasks.
Ankle pain can occur gradually as a result of a chronic underlying condition or suddenly as a result of an injury. The following are some possible causes of ankle pain:
Ankle Pain on the Lateral Side
If you’re experiencing pain on the outside of your ankle, it could be the result of an old injury that didn’t heal properly. As your ankle joints become more unstable, they will become more painful.
Ankle Fracture
Ankle fractures usually involve a period of immobilization in a boot and use of crutches. These injuries may require weeks of rest in order to heal properly. Your physical therapist can help guide you through the immobilization phase and transition back to normal footwear.
Bursitis
Bursitis develops when tendons rub against anti-friction sacs called “bursae,” resulting in flat feet. While flat feet are usually painless, being out of alignment with your knees can cause your ankles to hurt or swell.
Fortunately, our Ashland, MA, Hopkinton, MA, Milford, MA, Maynard, MA, Norfolk, MA and Rehoboth, MA physical therapy clinic has assisted in the recovery of numerous ankle injuries. Allow us to help you, too!
Arthritis
Arthritis is a long-term inflammatory disease that causes joint pain. The most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is an expected part of the aging process that your physical therapist can teach you how best to manage through treatment.
Ankle Strain or Sprain
Sprains and strains, the two most common ankle injuries, are frequently misdiagnosed. In a strain, a muscle or tendon is overstretched; in a sprain, a ligament is strained or torn. Both of these ankle injuries should be evaluated by a medical professional to get a proper diagnosis.
Achilles Tendinopathy
An unanticipated strain on the Achilles tendon can result in small tears and inflammation at the back of your ankle. You need to rest for your Achilles tendon to heal; otherwise, scar tissue may form.
