I Broke My Ankle 14 Years Ago, And Also Damaged
Question: I broke my ankle 14 years ago, and also damaged the ligaments and tendons in my ankle, every now and then it starts to hurt on the bone and I just want some advice
Brief Answer:
Arthritis possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you may need to do a x-ray of ankle and a total blood count and sedimentation.
Sometimes old ankle fractures may be the cause of arthritis and may give long term pain.
Also if the ankle was also sprained it can be more prone to be sprained again and prone to instability.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
