What Causes Unilateral Pain In The Ankle Radiating To The Leg?
Question: Im experiencing pain in my Right, Inside Side Ankle Joint with shooting pain radiating up the inside of my lower Right Inside Leg. Every time I take a step on the Right Foot.
I had an old injury to this area in 2003. I have been moving house for the past month and the symptoms are worse than ever now. I cannot remember if I broke this Right Ankle before?

Brief Answer:
Can be due to arthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in right ankle radiating to the right leg can be due to extra stress on the foot due to moving house. It can also happen due to inflammation or arthritis of the joint. You need to give the joint some rest. Do a hot compress and take an oral anti inflammatory pain killer. Do apply local analgesic gel. In case the pain is persistent then do consult an orthopedician for an examination.
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.
