Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain pain and stiffness in heals that radiates to ankle can be due to a number of causes, out of which the common causes are Planter Fascitis,Heel Bursitis,
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome,Achilles Tendonosis,
Arthritis,
heel spurs etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician or Podiatrist and get evaluated and he can do a clinical examination along with palpation and also advise investigations like x ray, MRI,
blood test etc to rule out the exact cause of the pain and treat you accordigly..
You can be advised to take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen or Naproxen, muscle relaxants like Chlorzoxasone, warm or cool compresses depending upon the cause..
Application of steroid ointments,
analgesic ointments can be advised..
Wear a soft padded footwear..
You can also be advised Orthotic devices and night splints for relief..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
