Is Warm Tingling Sensation And Swelling In Ankle A Ligament Issue?

I sprained my ankle months ago, am not sure how, but my ankle has been messed up for years and I am used to it. I still am having a warm tingling sensation on the outside, towards the front of my ankle. It is very minimally swollen. Is this a tendon or ligament issue?

Hello,
I have studies your case and I think that you might be having ligament problem or nerve compression. I would suggest you to get MRI of the ankle joint to confirm the diagnosis.
If there is any ligament injuries than it will need repair of the same. Sometime there can be damage to cartilage also. It can also cause such pain.
I would suggest you to wear ankle brace and hot water fomentation. Avoid standing for long time. I hope these steps will help you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
