Suggest Remedy For Pain In Lower Legs And Ankles
I m trying to find out why my lower legs and ankles ache all the time. I have been to a podiatrist (sp) and have had orthotics made for both feet and I my legs and ankles still ache. I was told to take Aleve, but I don t want to keep taking pills all the time. Should I go to a orthopedic doctor and see if it is my bones. Please give me some ideas as to what I should do.

Hi
is there history of trauma to your ankles or feet? are you always on your feet at work or at home?
there are multiple conditions that can bring about your symptoms. If you have no history of trauma to your lower legs I would suggest you start with seeing a general practitioner(GP), he can definitely order plain radiographs and might be able to help you. he will decide whether you need to see a specialist orthopaedic surgeon or not. I hope this helps you
