What Causes Severe Pain Behind The Right Ankle?

Severe pain on back of right ankle. Can t point my toe without pain. Painful to walk without favoring. Don t remember any trauma. Was on my feet for several hours working stage crew for a musical. Strained Achilles heel? Go to emergency room? Arrange to see podiatrist? Previously had plantar faciitist and had treatment a few years ago. This hurts outside the heel, not under arch.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be a contusion or sprain.

As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
