Reasons for ankle pain
Ankle disorders can be caused by a number of different things, but are most commonly associated with rolling or twisting-type injuries.
For some people, the problems with their ankles develop gradually as a result of repetitive movements or abnormal gait patterns. But oftentimes, acute-type injuries can occur which affect your ability to bear weight due to pain, swelling, and loss of range of motion. Even a seemingly mild injury can lead to chronic pain and dysfunction, when not taken care of, making it challenging to carry out your regular daily activities.
There are several possible causes and risk factors for ankle disorders including the following:
Strains and Sprains
A sprain is an irritation of the soft tissues that stabilize joints, while a strain is an irritation of the muscles that can both stabilize or move your ankle. Both result in temporary inflammation, which is the first stage of the healing process.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Tendinitis, now commonly referred to as tendinopathy, occurs from excessive overloading of the Achilles tendon, causing it to become inflamed and hypersensitive.
Chronic Lateral Ankle Pain
If you have pain in the outer aspect of your ankle, it could be due to an old injury that did not heal properly. In most cases, the pain persists due to a range of motion change from the initial (or repeated) sprains. In some situations, the ligament(s) sustained a complete rupture, resulting in instability in the joint.
Your ankle joints can become chronically and persistently painful as they become more unstable or have limitations in range of motion.
Fractured Ankle
The most common ankle fractures typically result from rolling or twisting the ankle and occur in the bony bump on the outside of the ankle (i.e., the lateral malleolus). The lateral malleolus is the bottom of the fibula bone.
The bump on the inside of your ankle (i.e., the medial malleolus) is the bottom of the tibia bone and is less commonly fractured.
A trimalleolar fracture is a severe injury that can affect your quality of life and cause long-term problems. A trimalleolar fracture involves the tibia, fibula, and talus bone. The talus is a bone in the foot that is located between the tibia and fibula bones.
Ankle fractures may necessitate weeks of rest to heal properly.
Arthritis
Arthritis can be an inflammatory or degenerative condition that affects the joints and results in pain; the most common types including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Both types of arthritis can greatly impact the foot and ankle joints.
If you’re living with these conditions, do not hesitate to contact Leaps & Bounds: Performance Rehabilitation for help.
