i have a swollen left ankle that has been going on for 2 months. Ive had an xray done and a doppler and results were nothing. I was put on steriods and that didnt help. Its going to take me 2 weeks to get in and see my doctor so i was just curious what it might be. Its very painful when applying pressure on it and there is throbbing on my ankle at night when i sleep and pain shoots up my calf sometimes(quite often) waking me out of a deep sleep.
Hello, I have studied your case with diligence. Ankle swelling can be due to polyarthritis. If not relieved then possibility of polyarthritis needs to be considered Chat Doctor.  There is reduced chest function in this disease. Stiffness in spine is increased do you have such stiffness in spine? When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like RA factor, CCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
