Suggest Remedy For Pain Near Ankle
I have an extra bone growing on the outside of my ancle just in front of the other ancle bone, it seems attached to it. It really hurts very bad and when i roll my ancle it feels 10x worse than it should and im positive it is growing. Is there anything i can possibly do to ease the pain, get rid of the bone or anything in the future i can do ?

Hi,
You can use an ankle brace which will support the ankle and restrict extremes of movement. Apart form this you can also ice it and take any pain medication which suits you. However you will need a checkup with your orthopedic specialist, an X ray to confirm the condition and possibly surgery to remove this part.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
