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 examinations have been conducted, but the results have not been very ideal. Could you please help with this? How should it 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 a specific spot. You can start with a standard and lateral X-ray of the ankle. If there are no major issues, you can go to the hospital for an anesthetic treatment for the ankle. Alternatively, you can try local massage therapy to see if it helps. For severe conditions, it is recommended that you 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, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only. I hope the answer above can help you. Thank you.
