Reasons For Chronic Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle discomfort can be caused by a variety of situations in your life. A foot or ankle injury can be excruciatingly painful, making it difficult to bear weight on the affected area. Even modest discomfort can cause physical limits in your day-to-day activities.
Ankle pain can strike quickly as a result of an injury or build over time as a result of chronic underlying issues. Ankle discomfort can be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to:
Fractures
If you break one of the three bones in your ankle (tibia, fibula, or talus), you will experience ankle pain. A fracture to the ankle could result in weeks of downtime to ensure proper healing.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints and causes discomfort. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the most frequent forms. Both types can significantly influence the ankle joints and affect people of all ages.
Bursitis
Bursitis occurs when the tendons rub against the "bursae" or anti-friction sacs, causing flat feet. While flat feet are usually painless, they can cause ankle pain or swelling if your feet are not in line with your knees.
Chronic Lateral Ankle Pain
Pain on the outside of your ankle could be due to a previous injury that didn't heal correctly. The less stable your ankle joints are, the more they hurt.
Achilles Tendinitis
A sudden strain in the Achilles tendon can cause tiny tears and result in inflammation at the back of your ankle. Rest is essential for proper healing to avoid scar tissue formation and potential surgery.
Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect any part of your body, including your ankles.
Strained Ankle
Sprains and strains are common and often confused. A sprain occurs when a ligament is overstretched or torn, while a strain happens when a muscle or tendon is overstretched. Both require medical examination to prevent long-term damage.
Fortunately, Synergy Physical Therapy has been shown to help with the rehabilitation of injured extremities as well as the relief of acute and chronic pain.
