What Causes Extreme Pain On Outside Of Ankle?

Last 2 mornings I ve had extreme pain on the outside of my ankle/leg. Feels like cramping. Much more painful than a Charley Horse. Rotation & massage doesn t seem to help. Eventually putting weight on it makes it go away. No stress or recent injuries in that location. I m 68 in good health, practice yoga.

Hi.

I would recommend a few blood investigations along with an xray of the region. The blood investigations should include RA factor, serum uric acid, etc.

Best wishes.
