What Causes Burning Pain And Swelling In Ankle?
end of Oct 2011 I went jogging and included some hills I am 47 yr old female. I still have right medial ankle burning with or with out walking and a small amount of selling. I have been taking Ibuprofen 800 mg two - three times a day and elevating as much as I can. Despite not jogging on it since beginning of Nov 2011 I still am unable to jog due to this continued burning pain. I do have an appointment with orthopedic doctor in Jan 2012-- Can you offer some hope that I will soon be jogging ? thanks

Hello,
Your symptoms could be suggestive of a pinched nerve or a ligament damage (partial). For this reason, immobilization followed by physiotherapy may be necessary. In the meantime, I would recommend avoiding jogging, prolonged standing up position or heels. Having some rest is necessary.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
