What Causes Severe Pain In The Left Ankle?
Question: I have pretty moderate to severe pain in the area of my left ankle that radiates across half of my foot. I have had surgery in the past for DVT, but there is no heat associated with it, and no red streaking.
Brief Answer:
Can be DVT or tendonitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The severe pain in the ankle that you have can be due to DVT or achilles tendonitis or arthritis. Proper examination and investigations like X-ray and ultrasound scan are needed to find the cause. Till then you can keep the foot elevated and do a hot compress in the area and see if it helps.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
