Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore ankles along with weakness in legs . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like baker's cyst , gout , brusitis or broken bone . I would suggest you to give proper rest to your knee , apply warm compresses on it , keep your knee stabilize, keep your leg elevated while lying down and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI or physical examination . Doctor may give plaster , prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and re commend physical therapy . Strengthening exercises will also be helpful , but do it under expert . Doctor may also recommend surgical excision .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
