Ankle Pain

[Luckytime]

About 3 wks ago I went on a long walk on rocky ground and when I got home my ankle was hurting but after a bath it was better. As I started to walk on it, it has been fine but every night I sit and elevate it when I stand it really hurts to the point I can't stand on it. Once I get going again it's fine! What's wrong?

The " ankle " is a big place........where exactly does it hurt......heel, or outside or perhaps the whole of the ankle?

Is it swollen and is the pain relieved by painkillers e.g Ibuprofen?

I can sympathise as I am woken every morning with terrible ankle pain,which is only alleviated when I walk. Also taking Ibuprofen hasn't helped at all.

The best tablets for pain relief in my opinion are Solpadol.

Apply a cabbage leaf and wrap a bandage round and wear it overnight.
