[|Human|] 4 weeks ago, out of the blue, the inside of my left ankle started hurting and became swollen, warm to the touch, making walking difficult and painful. I tried Ben Gay and an elastic ankle support which seemed to help. Each morning the swelling would be down and the pain lessened but by the end of the day it would be back. I sit at a desk all day so there is no strenuous activities. Last week the pain and swelling seemed to almost completely disappear, until yesterday morning it came back with a vengence. The interior ankle area is swollen, painful to the touch, seems warm/hot and walking is back to being painful. I ve done no activities to aggravate the problem again, have not tripped, fallen or done anything else that I can think of to make the pain and swelling reappear...
[|AI|]  Hello, I have some further questions for you-Did you make some blood tests (if yes I need the result for uric acid and CRP (c-reactive protein) or ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)-Do you see some tendency for the pain after meat or alcohol intake?-Have you tried painkillers?-Do you have diabetes? If you have elevated levels of uric acid, we may think of gout (Conagra) treatment includes painkillers and some other Chat Doctor.  Diabetes may be the reason for diabetic arthropathy. My recommendations include rest painkillers and rheumatologist checkup. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
