What Is Ankle Pain?

Ankle pain is a common condition that affects the joint connecting the foot to the leg. It can result from injuries such as sprains, strains, or fractures, as well as overuse or underlying conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. The pain may be sharp, dull, or throbbing and can worsen with movement, walking, or standing. Ankle pain often leads to swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility, making daily activities difficult. Factors such as improper footwear, uneven surfaces, or physical strain can increase the risk. Proper diagnosis and treatment, including rest, physiotherapy, and strengthening exercises, are essential for recovery and long-term joint health.
