What Causes Severe Pain In The Left Ankle?

I have started experiencing intermittent pain in my left ankle. I will be walking and all of a sudden a sharp pain will shoot through my ankle and I can t put any weight on it or move it without the pain getting worse. It may last for a few seconds or up to several minutes before it goes away and I can walk again. I am looking for some possible causes and trying to decide if I need to see a doctor. YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

Symptoms of both gout and pseudogout include pain, swelling, and redness. Arthritis can also cause ankle pain. Arthritis is the inflammation of the joints. Multiple types of arthritis can cause pain in the ankles, but osteoarthritis is the most common.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Monish De, Oncologist
