Suggest Treatment For Painful Swelling In The Ankle
Question: Quick question,
A few days ago, the part of my foot, just in front of my ankle (see picture where I point) started hurting quite badly, as if I had sprained or injured it, even though I don't recall injuring this part of my foot. What could cause pain out of nowhere on this part of my foot where injury is not the factor? Should I be worried?

Its not really my ankle though doctor.
Its on the top of the foot rather.
Everytime ive had my blood taken, its been nearly perfect. I cant see my doctor that easily just due to my work schedule. I dont know if i should be worried or not .

The light isnt flattering for these pictures at all. I just took the socks off, so they're a little dirty. Right foot is the one thats hurting .
Brief Answer:
could be ganglion
Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
Since picture is not available my diagnosis will be only on history that you have pain in the foot .
I would say that foot bones / joints start hurting (without injury) , when there is a local swelling like a ganglion / Bursa in a small foot joint.
I suggest an X ray to see the joint arthritis ,S uric Acid to rule out gout and start pain killers and hot fomentation for a few days.

Brief Answer:
ankle arthritis
Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopedic Surgeon.
Just saw the new pics- the area you have pointed is anterior part on ankle joint only , otherwise normal with no apparent swelling or deformity .
In my opinion , it is most likely to be ankle arthritis.
I suggest x ray of the foot and pain killers for the time being

Understood. So more than likely arthritis, and not liver disease or blood pressure?
Brief Answer:
yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi
In my opinion it more likely to be ankle arthritis .
I could not see any significant swelling so I would not consider the possibility of Blood Pressure / Kidney / Liver disease as a primary cause of this pain.
Thanks for the query
yes
