If you’ve been fighting with ankle pain that’s making it painful to walk, work, or stay active, you’re not alone, and help is available near you.
Common Causes of Ankle Pain
Understanding the source of your discomfort is key to finding the right treatment. Ankle pain can result from an injury, overuse, underlying medical conditions, or trauma sustained in motorcycle or car accidents.
Fractures and Dislocations
Falls, sports injuries, or traumatic accidents like a T-bone collision or rollover crash cause these. They often result in sharp pain, bruising, and an inability to bear weight.
Sprains and Strains
Occur when ligaments or tendons are overstretched or torn, leading to swelling, tenderness, and instability.
Osteoarthritis
Develops over time as cartilage wears down, causing stiffness, pain with activity, and joint swelling.
Achilles Tendon/Bursa Inflammation
Caused by repetitive stress or overuse. Pain is typically felt in the back of the ankle.
Avascular (Aseptic) Necrosis
A rare condition where blood supply to ankle bone is reduced, leading to persistent pain and weakness.
