What Is The Treatment For Ankle Pain?
Hi, over the last few weeks I hav been experiencing weird pain in my right ankle. It is like a pressurised build up that aches in the ankle joint to the point where I literally need to crack the ankle to releive pressure. Sometimes it feels like I need to crack the entire ankle to the extreme of breaking a bone just so I might get some relief.
The pressure usually starts in my thigh through to the ankle. This has been happening each evening starting around dinner time.
I also have suffered from sciatic pain for 14 years and wonder if this may somehow be an extension of this.
Should i have my joint looked at as it does alot of grinding, crunching, popping and cracking as I rotate it trying to relieve pressure.
Thank you

Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for this looking to the history given here this could be arthritis changes of single joint, try to keep the ankle joint on elevated position while sleep if I would be your doctor the I would treat this with the following medicines,
1) Tab Acetaminophen three times in day
2) Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day
hope this information helps you have nice day.
