Pain In Calf And Ankle, Worsens In The Morning. Taken Cortisone Injection. Any Ideas?
Hi, I have a calf/ankle nerve ache that has been with me for almost a year. It is worse in the mornings and normally eases during the afternoon. Have had cortisone injection in my back and there was no change. Any ideas? Gets to the point some days that I need to sit down to try and get some relief and I am getting very frustrated as I tend not to do things either due to the pain or in fear that it will create pain. Cheers, Tim

hello,
the pain in ur ankle or calf could be due to posture (long standing), or eve if u r obese in ur stature could cause u pain, or if there is calcium deficiency can cause pain, or if there is any history of sprain or injury.
also if the pain is worse on waking up in morning, advise you to start with calcium supplements under an expert advise. hot fomentation of legs, slight elevation of legs while sleeping at night, sitting cross legged while having ur meals, and few mild exercises may help u.
take care.
