What Could Cause Night Time Pain In The Ankle?
My left foot hurts during the night. The pain is on the top of the foot where it joins my leg. When I get up the pain is barely noticeable. There doesn't seem to be a consensus of opinion on line, and I have booked a GP appointment. Can you help? Thank you

There is possibility of ankle arthritis.
You may need to do X ray and blood investigation.
If required you may need MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement.
Till time you can use supportive splint or brace and take analgesic.
