Suggest Treatment For Right Ankle Swelling And Left Arm Weakness And Pain

I ve been having pain and weakness on my left upper arm for the past year. The pain levels varies. A new symptom started this past week, my right ankle is swollen and painful to the touch. I ve also been feeling tired. What could be the cause?(About 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with heart valve damage.. I haven t had it checked out in 20 years either.)

Pathologist and Microbiologist, Dr. Shailja Puri's Response

Hello,

Pain and swollen right ankle could be due to arthritis or inflammation of the ankle joint. I suggest you to consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment and relevant investigations for management. Weakness of left upper arm could be due to neurological disorder. I suggest you to consult a neurologist for this problem.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
