How Can Severe Swelling And Pain In The Ankle Be Treated?

Initially I went to er for severe ankle swelling and severe pain without a physical injury. Ana blood test was 1:80 speckled and negative for lupus specific test. Red blood cells indicated anemia and elevated B12. As the weeks past my symptoms effected my entire body, my nerves, I developed tingling, squeezing of muscles, tendons and veins. My joints remained achy continued to ache. My pcp referred me to a rheumatologist but I suggested a neurologist since I didn t test positive for the other lupus test. I m out of meds and waited a month to see the rheumatologist. Should I be seeing a neurologist?

Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

* As per my clinical experience, the swelling with pain will be best
managed by consultant surgeon rather than neurologist.

* I doubt possible bursa cyst around the ankle joint.

Feel free to post further doubts.
Thank you.
