I fell about 3-4 yrs ago and hurt my left ankle realy badly. Now in the last few weeks I ve had a bad burning pain under the ankle itself and it hurts to walk for any great time. Plus that same foot feels like I m walking on a marble in the ball of my foot. What is the reason for the burning pain?
Hello, With the burning sensation, the first thing to look for is uric acid levels which you should get it tested. If uric acid levels are high we need to treat accordingly. Next, about the fall, there will be microtrauma to the fibers of the ligaments of the ankle so need to stabilize it with an ankle brace. For swelling icing, if you aren't diabetic or else hot water fomentation and elevation of the leg. If any kind of numbers of tingling then has to check for the lumbar spine nerve root entrapment.  Keeping into consideration all this and with the differential diagnosis we can conclude the provisional diagnosis with the help of clinical symptoms and correlating with a diagnostic test.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
