- Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes conditions associated with ankle pain.
.
What are the common causes of ankle pain?
We are going to group all of the causes of ankle pain into 4 groups:
Anterior ankle pain (in front of the ankle)
Anterior lateral impingement: This is painful limitation of full range of motion of the ankle due to soft tissue thickening or tibial bony spur impinging on the talus, limiting dorsiflexion of the ankle.
Arthritis of the ankle: Arthritis of the ankle can occur due to injury or due to inflammation. It can be diagnosed by examination or by an x-ray.
Osteochondritis dissecans of the talus: A little chip fracture inside the ankle that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Medial ankle pain (inside of the ankle)
Tarsal tunnel syndrome: Compression on the posterior tibial nerve produces symptoms of pain and numbness on the medial (inside) side of the ankle. When conservative treatment fails, surgical treatment of the tarsal tunnel release may be needed.
Posterior tibial tendon tendonitis or rupture: Posterior tibial tendon problems can occur from overuse activities, from degeneration, or trauma. The posterior tibial tendon is one of the major supporting structures of the foot. The tendon helps to keep the arch of the foot in its normal position. When there is insufficiency or rupture of this tendon, the arch begins to sag, and a flatfoot deformity can occur associated with a tight Achilles tendon. The posterior tibial tendon rupture occurs in the hypovascular area, which is distal to the medial malleolus. The patient will have painful swelling on the posteriomedial aspect of the ankle. The patient will be unable to perform a single heel toe raise, too many toes sign, or flatfoot or fixed deformity of the hindfoot. Rupture of this tendon could be missed!
Flexor hallucis longus tendonitis: Pain, swelling, and weakness posterior to the medial malleolus. Dorsiflexion of the big toe may be reduced when the ankle is placed in dorsiflexion. Triggering and pain along the tendon sheath may also occur with toe flexion.
Posterior ankle pain (behind the ankle)
Posterior ankle impingement (os trigonum): Os trigonum is a nonunited piece of accessory bone seen posterior to the talus. Tenderness in the posterior lateral aspect of the ankle posterior to the peroneal tendons, especially with passive plantarflexion of the ankle, may be seen in association with Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tenosynovitis.
Achilles tendonitis: Irritation and inflammation occurs due to overuse. Pain, swelling, and tears within the tendon. It is usually treated with therapy and eccentric exercises. It is rarely treated with surgery.
Achilles tendon rupture: The Achilles tendon can become prone to rupture with age, lack of use, or by aggressive exercises. Rupture of the Achilles tendon is diagnosed by the Thompson test or by an MRI. Treatment may be conservative without surgery by doing early functional rehab. Or it can be treated with surgery by approximation of the torn ends of the tendon. The risk of surgery is infection and skin/wound complications. The risk of conservative treatment is a high rate of rerupture of the tendon.
Lateral ankle pain (outside of the ankle)
The cause of ankle pain on the outer side of the ankle may be a sprained ankle, but diagnosis of a sprained ankle may be the wrong diagnosis. There are other structures in this area that can mimic an ankle sprain, but it is not an ankle sprain.
Ankle sprain: When the pain is anterior and around the fibula, it can be attributed to ligament sprain. Ankle sprain can be high ankle sprain (rare) or a low ankle sprain (common). Both types of ankle sprains are seen in this diaphragm.
High ankle sprain: High ankle sprain is a syndesmotic injury and requires surgery. The high ankle sprain is a serious injury because it injures the ligament that connects the tibia to the fibula at the ankle joint. The diagnosis is usually done by the use of external rotation stress views or by CT scan.
Low ankle sprain: A low ankle sprain is not a serious injury and it does not require surgery. Low ankle sprain is collateral ligament injury. With an ankle sprain, although the condition is painful, the patient will be able to walk. When there is a fracture of the ankle, the patient will be unable to walk due to severe pain. The treatment of ankle sprains will include immobilization, ice therapy, physical therapy, and rarely surgery.
Diagnosis of a sprained ankle may be the wrong diagnosis. So, let us see what else can cause pain on the outside of
the ankle.
Peroneal tendon subluxation: Occurs due to rupture of the superior peroneal retinaculum.
Rupture of the peroneus longus tendon: The os peroneum displaces proximally.
Peroneal tendinitis
Anterior process of the calcaneus fracture
Lateral process of the talus fracture

Thanks for sharing Dr Ebrahim.
I had trimalleolar surgery 6 months ago, and with physical therapy, AlHamdullillah I'm walking again. Now as I'm resuming my normal routine, new areas of pain appear every day.
Since last week, I've been experiencing 6/10 pain in Tibialis Anteriror Tendonitis. Thanks to you, I can rest assured that it's just because of overuse, and I can explain my pain clearly to my physical therapist.
I had that same surgery about a month ago and my ankle still hurts a lot do you have any advice? When did the pain reduce for you?
I have a lot of left ankle pain in many places of the ankle, have a hard time moving my foot up and down and same for my toes, constantly in pain and been to doctors and they have said nothing is wrong. but this video helped me get insight on what the problem might be. Thank you
@Kajal Bhendre I’m sorry man I don’t understand.
I use to get very bad pain until i started using
vitamins C, D, ZINC and SELENIUM ( Buy seperately) in less than 2 weeks all pain gone! Just buy any cheap brand!
Thank you! I self administered physical therapy in the water. Although, I had to avoid using my leg all together for about a month or two when flutter kicking because of the pain eventually with time and adding resistance in kicks it got better.
Thank you for the precious info
Very informative.
Top notch video this is very informative easy to understand and the most thorough I've way hed I think ever . Thank you Dr

I am a therapist, I would like to thank you Dr Ebrahiem . You are extremely informative . Every night I spend an hr going over your Videos Listening to your Lectures and can’t get enough. Many many thanks to you Dr Nabil .
Wonderful!, thank you
I am a teacher and sprained my ankle a year ago while coming down the stairs. Xray showed no fracture but MRI showed inflammatory synovitis with mild ankle joint effusion. I had no option to quit the job at that time, so I took no rest and kept working all days. I used to get cramps and pain while standing, walking, climbing stairs and swelling by the end of the day. The injury became more serious and I had to quit the job. It's been almost 2 months now I have been resting at home. But still I can't walk properly and my ankle shows stiffness, redness, swelling and burning pain. I can climb the stairs but can't go down the stairs easily. It really hurts. I feel hopeless and helpless thinking that my ankle has been permanently damaged. Not understanding what to do.... totally fed up now.☹️😫
Someone please suggest what should I do?
Thank you Dr, so helpful 🙏🙏🙏
Yes very helpful, but can you do videos on what can the patient do ourselves to help improve? I have posterior tendonitis and want to do physical therapy to improve, and would like suggestions on exercises. Thank you!
There is NOTHING about WHAT TO DO to relieve the pain or help the condition. Even the many questions asked below are not answered.

Start by bracing it to relieve pain while walking. Ice and massage while resting with it elevated.
Please visit Bob and Brad on U Tube, the internet's best physical therapists, in their opinion, and in mine too. They are fantastic, you will never have to visit a therapist again, they have hundreds of videos for every problem area in the human body and they show in detail which exercises can be done from the very beginning of an injury to the strengthening and maintenance of that body part and they always use the first couple of minutes to describe the exact injury, the symptoms and which condition these symptoms belong to, if and when to consider surgery and they are right when they say that just about every condition can be worked on for many years and a patient may never have to consider surgery.
You need another video on exercises you can do to relieve the pain...thanks...
Thank you. It was helpful.
Thank you good information 👍 I have pain in the ankle.👍
Thank you - very helpful.
Love this! Very informative and educational. Thanks for sharing
Thank you it is very helpful...

DOCTOR YOUR EFFORTS TO EXPLAIN IS TRULY HELPFUL
THANKS FOR THE KINDNESS
Thanks
A low ankle sprain is definitely a serious injury. I couldn't walk for half a month. 1.5 months later I'm still heavily limping. I hope I can recover in 3-4 months, but there is no guarantee. Some people have ongoing issues for years.
I have ankle sprain too its been 4 months and i cant walk properly
Ahhhh...I still had hope at 3-4 months. I am now 1 year out from my sprain. Still bracing daily. Still not healed. I pray you are more fortunate.
@@dreadlux Wow, a year is a long time! I don't know what the issue is exactly, but it could be scar tissue and tightness if you never had that taken care of. Although it shouldn't be causing real pain, just tightness and lack or range of motion. Myself I'm doing better now at 4 months, but still not fully recovered. Getting there though. I also never felt I need a brace to walk, so to me it was never necessary.
Удивительное видео большое спасибо !
ขอขอบพระคุณมากๆนะคะคุณหมอ ที่ช่วยแนะนำสาเหตุของอาการเจ็บเท้า...เป็นประโยชน์อย่างมากเลยค่ะ...เพราะกำลังเป็นอยู่...ขอคุณพระคุณเจ้าปกป้องคุ้มครองรักษาท่านนะคะ.🙏🙏🙏💖03/01/2022
Hi Dr. Nabil. You have done a surgery of my right ankle many years ago. I no longer live in CA and moved to east coast. I hope that I can arrrange a Facetime meeting and get your opinion on both ankles. Thank you
Thank you very much
Very much informative Thank you sir
Thank you so much Sir. I am having both plantar fasit and akel pain for last four years. I went operation for plantarfasit and akel pain but no more improvement. I went for some physical therapy too. Can you please give some tips to get better.
Sorry to hear that. How is your foot now?
Thanks
1:15 For about 3 weeks I had a sharp pain on that place showed in number 2. My ankle swells in a very specific spot and it gets very much sensitive to the touch. The pain came out of nowhere and just like that it vanished. But yesterday I woke up feeling the same thing again and I'm afraid I'm about to go through another 3 weeks of pain, swelling and not putting any weight on my right foot.
I'm goin through something similar. My whole ankle, and foot just swelled, and turned dark red outta nowhere. I didn't twist it or anything. It hurt pretty bad. Then like 3 days later, it felt better, snd the swelling went down. Now, the side of my anke, and shin, hurt really bad, and are swollen. It hurts so bad I can barely walk on it. The past month or so, I haven't been able to sleep at all, and so I've basically just stayed up all night, every night, and will snooze for a little bit in my gaming chair. Im wondering if not laying down at all, can cause whatever it is.
@@cmcproductions26 it was kinda dark red on the swelling spot for me too. I'm starting to wonder it there's something to do on the way I walk. It's turned from "constant nonstop pain" to "it hurts if I take a step with my foot a little bit twisted to the side". Hard to explain.
@@perigeesyzydy I feel the exact same way about myself. Im pretty sure I walk an abnormal way too. Plus, I have horrible knee pain too. But my feet have gotten bad. Every time I'm on them, it hurts. What's sad is, I'm only 32. It's scary to think that you're body really does start to get beat up more easily as you get older. I can't imagine being 40 much less 60 or 70. I'm pretty sure I've been on my feet too much lately. Like I said earlier, I haven't lied down in bed or on the couch in like 3 or 4 days. Ill just doze off in my gaming chair for a short bit. A lot of bad stuff is goin on in my life right now, and I can barely sleep.
@@cmcproductions26 I think I have similar symptoms without redness. I hope your ankle is recovered. I wonder that how many weeks has it taked to fully recovery? I went to doctor. Doctor took xray and said "don't walk rest more and nothing to worry about".
Which methods did you use to fast recovery? Thanks a lot !

I have suffered ankle discomfort recently, which caused observable limping while walking. I was cured by my massage therapist.
Wow. That's a relief.
good explanation
Thank you. Want to know about the leg pain and the vericose.

I have medial ankle issue for past month or more. Very painful , hard to walk. Did bloodwork, negative for gout. Xray next. Taking anti-inflammatory pills . My garden is suffering.

Now ready for picking. Trying to cope. Good wishes to all here.
Thanks, Sir 🙏🙏🙏
I have anterior ankle pain apparently from some arthritis and residue from an old injury.
The best treatment so far has been to do calf raises but that seems to do nothing. Any tips?
What are calf raises?
@@monaattiah3976 in a seated or standing variation.
From a flat shoe position you raise up onto the balls of your feet (almost tip toes) then back down.
There's machines in the gym. Otherwise work on a step for a deeper stretch
I use to get very bad pain until i started using
vitamins C, D, ZINC and SELENIUM ( Buy seperately) in less than 2 weeks all pain gone! Just buy any cheap brand!
At one point “too many toe signs” was mentioned. What does this mean exactly? I sprained my ankle and can’t move my little and the toe beside it. Having many spasms and so much pain and swelling all around my ankle, even 4 weeks after. Cramps and spasms in calf as well, extremely painful

I'm having a lot of pain in my ankle. How can I do simple exercises at home please.
thanke you good to know
What is best excersize?
What if the pain starts in the posterior.. Then travels to the other 3 areas?
Xray didn't show anything wrong.. It's not gout because I can massage it without it hurting more.. And I don't overuse it.. And have no trauma..
I have extreme burning on front of ankle even at rest. It is debilitating and have had it for weeks. it came as a result of overuse. I want to know if oral Presidone will help.
I have lateral low ancle pain
While playing football with shoe
So what can I do
Im having two of these ankle pains. Can ankle pain be due to a herniated disc? Because i didn't injure my foot but having severe ankle and foot pain which makes me limp while walking. I also cannot stand on my tiptoes on the left foot.
My ankle just randomly starts to hurt from time to time but it lasts long and mostly hurts at night but not every day someone please explain what this is for me
Very sweet
