Pain In Foot, Below Ankle, Flare Up On Walking, Raised Vein. Treatment?
I have a slight pain in my foot just below my ankle. The pain subsides when resting but flares up again after a half hour walk or so. Last night I went for a 30 minute walk and the pain was noticeably worse when I got home and I also noticed that a vein underneath my ankle was raised slightly. The pain has been bothering me for over 2 weeks now and I cannot get an appointment at my GP for another week. Can you please help?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems that the pain you are having is due to an inflammation in the ankle joint- most likely due to arthritis. This needs anti inflammatory medicines and hot fomentation for relief. Changing your shoes might help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
