Could An Ankle Pain Be Due To Arthritis,will Voltaren Injection Help?
i have had 3 operations "left ankle arthrodesis" failed twice and think the 3rd op has failed again... been 3 years since i had my last op. Have left it and walking without crutches, which is fine for me. Pain is almost everyday, especially when i walk a little too much. Woke up this morning and couldnt walk, the moment i stepped out of bed it felt like a cramping pain that stabbed right through the bottom padding of my foot. Ankle looks a little dis-coloured, but no prominent bruising or swelling. Im running a business as my boss has gone away, cant afford to go to hospital right now. Shall I go have a voltaren injection, will it help? is this maybe arthritis? Please help!!!

Dear Sir,
It will be difficult to comment over this fact yes ankle monoarthritis can be there. You will need to see a rheumatologist for this . Gout and tuberculosis speciallay needs to be ruled out.
