What Causes Throbbing Pain In The Legs?
2.5 yrs ago I injured my ankle...damaged the tendon and lots of soft tissue damage, was in a brace for quite awhile...I m overweight and diabetic so I recently started exercising. Walking 1/2 mile or more to be specific. Since I started walking, a throbbing pain has started in my ankle/lower calf, exactly where it hurt when I injured it. Any suggestions to minimize discomfort while I attempt to improve my health?

first of all reduce weight. you can't drive a truck over small wheels. our ankle sustains whole body weight and if weight increase they are under increase pressure and eventually ankle and soft tissue will give away. reduce wieight and walking with ankle exercise will help
