What Causes Pain In Ankles During Plantar Flexion?

When I am half awake I stretch, I plantar flex both ankles during this stretch and get immediate and severe cramps/ spasm of my anterior tibialis mm. It causes me to jump out of bed and I can barely walk due to the spasm. It lasts 10 minutes and my ant. tibs remain tender to palpation. I have had a recent bout with kidney stones and am taking flow max.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in ankles during plantar flexion specially in the morning . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like inadequate blood supply , nerve compression , mineral depletion , vitamin E deficiency and gout . I would suggest you to do gentle massage , start taking vitamin E supplement , put your legs in hot water tub for 15 minutest daily and do light exercises . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically , take history and order uric acid level test . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory or physical therapy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
