What Could Be Causing Severe Pain In The Right Ankle?

Yes, I m a 56 y.o. female and a type 2 Diabetic for 37 yrs. Last week my Right foot great toe started feeling pins and needles, then burning like it was on fire.Being a RN, I have always babied my feet and prided myself on still having good circulation, color and texture of my skin. This week I started experiencing a sharp stabbing pain inside my inner right ankle area. I screamed out the first couple times it happened cause I literally thought I d been stabbed by something. Extremely painful. There are no untoward signs of any obvious injury or redness, just this God awful pain! a 10/10, but luckily it is not constant.Any idea what could be causing this pain? So far, nothing relieves it and it s severe enough to make me nauseated. Thank s Dr. for all you do! I have a medical diagnosis of spinal stenosis and I have two titanium cages in my cervical spine, so severe pains have been a constant in my life for years.In January 0f 2015, I fell on icy cement stairs, injuring my neck and back and leaving me disabled,but this right foot pain, takes the cake and makes that pain seem minor. It s worse than labor pains! I can only take ES Tylenol for pain.Can it be numbed? Phyllis Burress, RN

Hi,

Severe pain in right ankle can be related to an injury like sprain or arthritis or tendonitis. You need to get an MRI scan done for proper evaluation.
