What Causes Burning Sensation In Ankles During Walking?
If I am walking quickly ( to make at least a 15 min mile), my ankles sometimes have a burning sensation. I m thinking it is the tendons or muscles, not bone. When I run 2 mi daily, I don t have that sensation. What is my body telling me? Oh, I m 51, 118 lbs, and about 5 4 .

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of local muscle acidosis. This could be related to anaerobic activity in the muscle due to straining physical activity during walking quickly. It is just a matter of muscle metabolism. Anyway, I recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels, in order to exclude possible arteriophathy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
