What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Ankle?
Hello! I have just come by this site out from an advertisement; I do not know if this is worth asking but there seems to be a pain in my lower ankle or my upper foot, somewhere near or on the talus bone. It hurts spontaneously from time to time, or when I run and am playing a sport, and I sprint to another side, (this is the right foot by the way) and use it to sprint, it hurts excruciatingly harsh. Or when I jump sometimes, that area hurts a LOT! What could this be? I am eager to hear your diagnosis.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Ankle pain is most commonly caused by a sprain.
A sprain is an injury to the ligaments connecting the ankle bones.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain .
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
