Edema around the medial malleolus may be caused by overuse, ankle sprains, arthritis, and other reasons. Treatments include general therapy and pharmacological therapy.
1. Overuse: It can lead to excessive stretching of the tendons and ligaments around the ankle joint, causing them to be in a state of congestion and edema. This results in edema around the medial malleolus, accompanied by swelling and pain. Appropriate rest and recovery are recommended, and frequent movement of the foot should be avoided.
2. Ankle Sprain: Improper exercise and trauma can cause ankle sprains, leading to excessive stretching of local ligaments and blood vessels, which can cause edema around the bone. There is usually significant pain. Pharmacological therapy can be used in conjunction with a doctor's recommendations, such as Huoxue Jiaonang and Sanqi Tablets.
3. Arthritis: This condition is mostly related to chronic overuse. The ankle joint is stimulated by long-term sterile inflammatory reactions, and damage to surrounding tissues can cause peripheral edema, with generally limited joint activity. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice, such as using Celecoxib Capsules and Ibuprofen Capsules.
In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, varicose veins of the lower extremities, gout, renal failure, tumors, and other causes. It is recommended to consult an orthopedic specialist and avoid frequent ankle movement.
