Patient's question:
My mom is 51 years old. She started experiencing ankle pain six months ago and cannot walk for more than an hour. X-rays and various detailed tests have been conducted, but the results have not been very ideal. Could you please help take a look? How should this be treated, and how should she pay attention to daily conditioning?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be deep pain in the ankle joint, meaning pain inside the joint. You can feel the area of pain but cannot pinpoint the exact spot. You can start with a standard and lateral X-ray of the ankle. If there are no major issues, you can proceed to the hospital for an anesthetic treatment for the ankle. Alternatively, local massage therapy can be considered. For severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for medication and treatment, focusing on symptomatic relief. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. I hope the above answer helps you. Thank you.
