What Are the Causes of Ankle Pulling Pain?
Ankle pain may be caused by overexertion, ankle trauma, osteoarthritis, and other reasons, and it requires prompt medical attention.
Overexertion: During recent intense exercise or heavy physical labor, ankle muscles and ligaments may be repeatedly pulled, leading to local sterile inflammation, causing swelling and pain. At this time, local hot compresses or massages can be applied to relieve pain symptoms after a period of time.
Ankle Trauma: If the ankle is impacted by external forces or twisted while walking on uneven roads, it can cause local soft tissue damage and ligament sprains, resulting in pain, swelling, and limited mobility. At this time, medications such as Safflower Oil, Swelling and Pain Relief Tincture, and Yunnan Baiyao Aerosol can be used as recommended by the doctor to reduce swelling and pain.
Osteoarthritis: The cause is related to obesity in patients and may also be due to infection. After developing this disease, it can lead to degeneration of articular cartilage and atrophy of surrounding ligaments, easily causing local joint pain. It is recommended to take medications such as Glucosamine Sulfate Tablets, Aminosugar and Indomethacin Enteric-coated Tablets, and Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium Tablets as advised by the doctor to alleviate symptoms.
Besides the above common causes, it may also be due to rheumatoid arthritis. Seek medical attention promptly. During treatment, keep the ankle warm and rest more to help improve the condition.
