What Does Pain From The Right Ankle To The Shin Indicate?
Have been going to a chiropractor because I was told that I have sciatica, but this doesn t seem to be helping. I get sporadic pain in my outside right ankle with pain up in my shin it is not constant but sometimes the pain is so bad I want to get rid of my foot!!

thanks for writing to hcm
The typical pain area described seems to be joint pain might be due to any sprain .please be assured that this is not sciatica.sciatica pain is typically going down pain from waist to down the limb.
please get a uricacid,RA factor done along with the ankle joint x ray to rule out other issues.topical analgesic and a hot fomentation can be tried to relief the pain.please do consult an orthopedic doctor.
hope this helps
