Suggest Treatment For Severe Ankle Fracture
Hello I fractured my ankle 5 years ago and for last few years I keep getting a aching pain and it usually is at front of my ankle or the side of it. It hurts when it s cold, or if I have walked loads in the day or hurts when I haven t done much on it. And usually hurts in evening and I am now leaning to drive and it does hurt after I have done a lesson

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that this can be due to ankle arthritis. This is irregular surface of the ankle joint following trauma. I would recommend you to get MRI of the ankle to confirm this diagnosis.If there is early arthritis then you can get steroid injection in the ankle joint. if there is severe pain then arthroscopy surgery can also be helpful.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
