What Causes Pain In Ankles After Using Treadmill?
It can be a ligament injury
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you are having a soft tissue injury most probably a ligament injury. I would recommend you following.
1. Get MRI of the foot and ankle to confirm the diagnosis.
2.If there is grade 2 or 3 ligament injury you will need splint of ankle for 6 weeks.
3. After six weeks of immobilization, you need to get physiotherapy.
4. There is also possibility of stress fracture. That can also be diagnosed with MRI. Treatment is same except you will also need calcium therapy.
I hope this answer will help you. Let me know if you want to ask any other followup questions.
Thanks
You can wait for two weeks
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I completely agree with you. I am not saying that you should rush to MRI. You can wait and try rest and avoiding stress on foot for two weeks more. Avoid standing for long time. Let it heal. And after that gradually increase your activities. I hope your pain will improve.
If still there is pain, than you can get it investigated.
Thanks.
