Pain in my ankle area.

[Trevstan]

Was the weirdest thing i woke up this morning as some one was knocking at the door went to stand up then i felt the sharpest pain in my ankle (Just below the ankle bone) its really really sore atm and getting the odd stabbing pain.

I went to bed last night and it was great no pain whatsoever.

Worried in case it could be anything serious, should i have a trip to the A+E or should i try and wait it out and see if it gets any better?

Foot feels all painy and pins and needles across the bottom.

Do you have any swelling?

It sounds like you could have trapped a nerve or stood on it funny?

I wouldn't rush to the A&E for it. I might give the NHS direct a quick call just to put your mind at ease though.

Please keep us updated.

Hi thanks for the reply no bruising or swelling of any kind.

And it only really hurts when i put weight on it its just a twingy pain thats on off when i have it rested.

But i can't understand what would have caused it since it was great when i went to bed.

How is it today?

Hi there,

Something very similar happened to me a few years ago and it was really painful. It went away on its own though I still get the occasional twinge. I put it down to a trapped nerve.

If yours carries on, pop and see your GP to be on the safe side.
