What Causes Discomfort In The Ankles?
I have osteoporosis diagnosed about 8 months ago. I ve been taking Fosomax weekly since then. I have not injured my ankle, but the inside of my left ankle to about mid calf is super uncomfortable when I walk or stand, not sitting or resting at all. Is it from the disease?

Hello welcome to the health care magic
For osteoporosis you have been prescribed alendronate drug that is beneficial by preventing bone loss
Continue that drug and check your calcium and vitamin D level also
Calf pain could be from electrolyte imbalance, so check pottasium and sodium level as well
Pain is started with walking, hence rule out peripheral vascular disease with colour doppler and by physical examination if needed
Take care
Hope this will help you
Consult physician for examination and discuss your case
