Answers:
I've had ankle pain that orthopedics said triple fusion surgery would correct. Thank God, I didn't listen. It just slowed down by itself but, after my problem developed (a "twist"--that's the easiest way to put it without writing an explanatory book to you)-- on an ankle that had suffered 4 previous sprains, I have to be careful how I turn. See an orthopedic surgeon (don't freak). It MAY SAVE an extra trip if you find one that specializes in surgery---not all orthopedics do.
orthodics. go see a specialist and get them, fixed my back problem.
Good luck.
i think orthotics may help. I had the same problem, only i also walked on the inside of my feet and my feet completly flattened. The orthotics made a huge difference in how my ankles felt. I play volleyball, so it is really important. If your ankles are not bad enough to stop you from dancing, no realigning should need to be done. Just a pair of sneakers with arch support and a [air of orthotics. I was also casted up past my ankle to try to reposition my foot for 2 weeks. that helped so much! if you wrap the more severly hurting one in an ACE wrap, thay may help to!
hope i helped.
feel better.
if you need anything else, feel free to email me!
I think that a good pair of orthotics and good tennis shoes would be helpful. If that doesn't work then you may want to talk to an orthopedic surgeon. They can realign the bones surgically. Good luck!
