DESCRIPTION:
Ankle pain is most often due to an ankle sprain, which is an injury that causes a stretch or tear of one or more ligaments in the ankle joint. Ankle ligaments are probably the most sprained ligament in the body. Close to 26,000 people sprain their ankles every day. Although most ankle sprains occur on the outside part of the ankle, they can occur on the inside as well. An ankle twist is the most common sports injury to lead to ankle pain. In addition to ankle sprains and other injuries, ankle pain may also be caused by arthritis, gout, pseudogout and infection.

How does ankle pain develop?
The most common type of ankle sprain is an inversion injury, turning the ankle inward, injuring or tearing the ligaments on the lateral side of the ankle, usually the anterior talofibular and the tibiofibular ligaments. The inside of the ankle is held together by a group of ligaments called the deltoid ligament. This ligament is injured from turning the foot outward, as can happen when falling down stairs or mis-stepping. Once an ankle is sprained, the injury may take a few weeks to many months to fully heal. The injured ankle often remains a little weaker and less stable than the uninjured one.

What are the symptoms of ankle pain?
Symptoms of pain from a sprained ankle include mild aching to sudden pain, swelling, discoloration, inflammation, inability to move the ankle properly and pain even when no weight is put on the ankle. In mild cases, there may be a propensity for the ankle to continually turn inward.

Conventional medical treatments may help relieve the symptoms of ankle pain, but they do not address the root of the problem. By strengthening structural weaknesses in the body, as natural medicine treatments like Prolotherapy do, ankle pain may be alleviated permanently.

Treatment of Ankle Pain:


The Response of Modern Medicine
Everyone is familiar with the typical modern medical treatment routine for an ankle sprain, the most common cause of ankle pain: ice, elevation, wrapping with a bandage or wearing a brace and rest, i.e., staying off the ankle. This is also known as RICE treatment (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation), and is a common practice for most sports-related injuries. The problem with this treatment approach is that it decreases inflammation (inflammation heals!) at a time when the injured area needs it most, resulting, unfortunately, in decreased healing. In other words, it does nothing to repair the injured or weakened ligaments involved and, thus, does not alleviate the chronic pain that people with this condition experience. And while exercises designed to strengthen the muscles that support the ankle may be beneficial, they rarely resolve the chronic pain.

Hand-in-hand with the RICE treatment approach is another standard practice of modern medicine: injecting steroids or prescribing anti-inflammatory medications. However, in the long run, these treatments do more damage than good. Although cortisone shots and anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to produce short-term pain benefit, both result in long-term loss of function and even more chronic pain by actually inhibiting the healing process of soft tissues and accelerating cartilage degeneration. Plus, long-term use of these drugs can lead to other sources of chronic pain, allergies and leaky gut syndrome.

When all else fails, patients who experience chronic ankle pain may be referred to a surgeon. Unfortunately, surgery often makes the problem worse. Surgeons will use x-ray technology as a diagnostic tool, which does not always properly diagnose the pain source.

The Natural Medicine Approach to Ankle Pain
A better approach is to strengthen the ligaments supporting the lateral ankle, the area most commonly sprained, with Prolotherapy. Chronic ankle sprains have been effectively eliminated with Prolotherapy treatments. If the sprain is the result of turning the ankle outward rather than inward, Prolotherapy treatments are applied to the deltoid ligament.

Chronic pain is most commonly due to cartilage deterioration, tendon weakness or ligament weakness or injury, as is the case with chronic ankle pain. The safest and most effective natural medicine treatment for repairing tendon, ligament and cartilage damage is Prolotherapy. In simple terms, Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair painful areas. It does so by inducing a mild inflammatory reaction in the weakened ligaments and cartilage. Since the body heals by inflammation, Prolotherapy stimulates healing.

Prolotherapy offers the most curative results in treating chronic pain. It effectively eliminates pain because it attacks the source: the fibro-osseous junction, an area rich in sensory nerves. What’s more, the tissue strengthening and pain relief stimulated by Prolotherapy is permanent!

Inside Ankle Pain

Answer 3

If you rolled your ankle inwards, yet have pain on the inside of the ankle, you may have made some hard contact between the tip of your tibia (at the medial malleolus) and the talus (the bone that just sits below it). Most INWARD ankle sprains result in pain on the OUTSIDE of the ankle...a sprain of the anterior talo-fibular liagments. Yet, if you have pain on the inside, you may have either gotten a nice little bone bruise, or perhaps there was some degree of you spraining your ankle OUTWARD (we sometimes don't recall the exact mechanisms of injury). If this is the case, you might have sprained the deltoid ligament which is on the inside of the ankle (medial side). What is unfortunate about most deltoid ligament sprains is that the ligament is so strong, that when it is sprained, it often alvulses (fractures) off the tip of the medial malleolus. This fracture often does not appear on x-rays for 6 weeks after the injury. Let's hope this is not the case.

I imagine either A: you have a nice little bone bruise...you will start to feel better over the next week, but may have pain for 4-8 weeks. or B: You sprained the deltoid ligament which may cause persistent pain that does not get better over the next couple weeks (or may worsen). If this is the case, see an orthopedist.

Both conditions should initially be treated with rest, compression (such as an ankle support), elevation, and ice (cold paks for 5-10 minutes) up to every 2-4 hours for the first 2-3 days.

If you want to know more about uterine fibroids and you want to eliminate all the symptoms naturally you must read this great book: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=553

Uterine fibroids are a common health concern among a major population of women. Uterine fibroids are benign, non cancerous tumours that originate within the uterus. They are also called fibroid tumors, leiomyomas, or myomas. They are made of the same muscle tissues as the uterus, though they tend to be hardened. This is possibly because uterine fibroids contain higher levels of estrogen than the surrounding uterine tissues. Some uterine fibroids may be so small that they can't be felt even during an internal examination; some may be large enough to make a prominent bulge in your stomach.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?

I am not very experienced with injuries and such, but I have done some research. It might be a stress fracture. But don't trust me on this, it is just a guess. It's good you're going to the doctor. I know it sucks just having to watch class :( Were you doing something different in class? If you are en pointe and did something different it could be a cause. Same with soft ballet shoes. It's really hard for me to answer because I haven't seen the injury. For now, you should just RICE (Rest Ice Compression Elevation) it, and that may be what the doctor suggests if it's not too major. I hope you get well soon. I know how it is to miss some ballet classes. It's hard to make them up sometimes. :) Feel better!

Check here a very effective sciatica natural treatment http://cure-sciatica.info
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica.
