Question:
Ever since I was around the age of 7, I've had reoccuring pain in my right ankle. It's not a light pain that I can easily ignore, but it's an excruciating pain that feels like an electric shock going through my heal to the top of the ankle. I have shooting pains when I move my toes too. I just finished up my senior year band camp, which aggrivated my ankle. The odd thing about it is that the previous 3 years of band camp hasn't aggrivated it to this extreme. It's swollen almost twice it's size, but there isn't any visible bruising; no black, blue or purple spots. Since the young age I've seen doctor after doctor, had x-ray after x-ray and no doctor has had a diagnosis. Could I possibly have deep muscle damage or arthritis? Because I'm in so much pain should I go to the emergency room?
Answers:
You could have arthritis, my mum was seeing doctors for 3 years until they finally diagnosed her with Osteo Arthritis. Keep visiting your doctors and dont ignore this. It may not be arthritis, as you say u have had this since you was 7, it may be your muscle, and an x-ray wouldn't be able to spot that, id think this is probably the problem. I hope this helps and please continue seeing your doctor, i hope this helps, good luck.
