My left Ankle is swollen paining
Dear Doctor,
My ankle is swollen and paining.
Pain aggravates after I walk or on standing.
I applied ointment but problem repeats on standing or walking.
X ray was taken by Orthopedic Doctor, it is normal.
Physio was recommended along with pain killer tablet and pain gel.
The ortho Doctor has not diagnosed the reason for swelling.
I am 113 Kg, 5feet 6 inches in height.
I was operated at the age of 12 in left leg for excess growth of bone hence I have 0.5 inch difference between my left and right leg.
I went for Physio only for 1 day because I am not happy with the diagnosis.
I want to know why swelling is there on left ankle.
I want permanent solution.
Please help.
