Lower leg pain and sound from ankle
Hi, I have lower leg pain on outer side . I was bedridden for 2 month and skin traction for treatment for AVASCULAR necrosis. After that I go for Ayurvedic treatment and I feel better but after 1 month I got pain in lower leg and I am not able to walk and some time even I lift the leg there is pain in lower legs. I am familiar with AVN pain and I know it's not pain due to AVN so please tell me what to do. I doesn't want to take medicine without any diagnosis so please help me if any diagnosis for that. I have read about peroneal tendinitis and my pain area is similar so please help me out. I will be very thankful for helping me in right diagnosis.

Continuous skin traction for a long time may cause soft tissue strain / tear..
That may cause pain and difficulty in walking.. How bad is your AVN situation at present.. If it is of a higher grade, it would be better to go for surgery..
Conservative management may not be very effective in such cases..
Next Steps
You may start with hot fomentation, take analgesic and anti inflammatory medicine, apply analgesic ointment, start strengthening exercises for calf and hamstring strengthening..
Health Tips
Avoid heavy work, avoid standing and walking for a long time..
