What Causes Severe Pain In The Ankle Joint?

I have developed severe pain to top of ft near where leg connects. Began by feeling as if the foot was abrased but not it has a burning sensation as if a hot poker is stuck in top of foot. It can get so bad it spreads down foot to toes. About 3 yrs ago I fell landing on ft hyperextending the foot. I don t know if now it is causing issues but it has really begun to hurt? What might it be? Randi Ginder

Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve or bone inflammation. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and performing a foot X-ray study. Nerve conduction studies may be needed. Consulting with an orthopedist or neurologist may be needed. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
