What Causes Pain Behind Ankle And Difficulty In Walking?
It is not swollen. It hurts behind the ankle. It is tender to touch. It hurts when I walk, but not when I walk on tiptoes or if I try to keep my foot from flexing. Also, it is most comfortable when the tendon isn t tight behind the ankle (when my foot is pointed toward the floor).

Hello,
It looks that most probably you have strained your Achilles tendon. You should do following to have relief in this:
- Do contrast bath i.e. Alternate cold and warm fomentation over your affected area.
- Avoid putting excessive strain over your ankle like excessive walking, walking up stairs or down stairs,etc.
- Take a mild analgesic like advil or aleeve for relief.
Do this for at least 5 days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
