Have Severe Pain In The Ankle Bone Which Started When Running. Had Taken A X-ray. What Could Be The Problem?
I was running and felt a "catch" on the inside ankle bone. Continued to run thinking it would loosen up. I finished my run. During cool down and stretches it hurt worse. After one hour I could not bear weight. It has been 5 days. X-ray was negative other than a heel spur. There is minimal swelling but very tender over the inside ankle bone. I am able to bear weight but only with ace wrap. Still unstable but without crutches. But I have to stay on Tylenol or NSAIDs to do so. It really doesn't all make sense. Still very tender and tingling at times.

hi mr..
only bony injuries can be made up in x rays..but anle is supported by many muscles,tendons,ligaments(ends of muscles attached to bones)..
in your case one of those might have injured due to sudden abnormal twist ,stretching or wt..nsaids can help you only temporarily..always give rest to a painful jt..consult an orthopaedician get it checked,.........get it treated,
get well soon,bye

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since , X ray ruled out any fracture ( recheck for chip fracture i.e.line type).
May be ligament injury and treatment is compression bandaging, early mobilization within the limits of pain & swelling, co-ordination exercises.
If rupture than rest for three weeks.
Potent pain killer with serratiopeptidase will help as it will not only reduce swelling but also help in healing , if any.
Good luck.
