Suggest Remedy For Painful Ankle And Knees
Hi I reacently started playing sports again and every time I run the area right above my ankle up to my knee feel as though they are ripping away from the bone but only in the back of my leg. I’ve tried rolling them out, stretching better, hot water soaks and nothing seems to help! Should I be concerned?

Dear patient
you may be having stress fracture of tibia. this occurs due to unaccustomed activity and overuse.
You need to take rest. Diagnosis can be confirmed by mri of the leg. Rest for at least one month. Start tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for pain relief. After complete pain relief you should start again with slow and progressive increase in workout.
